UK Vietnamese Community Embraces Homeland Ties Under Resolution 23

The Vietnamese community in the UK is resolute in strengthening its ties with the homeland following the issuance of Politburo Resolution No. 23. The resolution calls for the establishment of stronger and more sustainable networks among overseas Vietnamese (OV). Specifically, it emphasizes enhancing frameworks that connect experts, intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and young people. The aim of the resolution is for each Vietnamese individual working abroad to serve as a literal "bridge," thereby maintaining and developing close relations with the homeland, transcending geographical distances. This is positioned as part of Vietnam's national strategy to leverage the contributions of OVs to national development. The Vietnamese community in the UK welcomes this resolution as a new direction, viewing it as an opportunity to apply their expertise and business experience to the country's development. Similar sentiments are being observed in other overseas Vietnamese communities, such as in the US and Israel, with expectations rising that Resolution No. 23 will contribute to enhancing Vietnam's international standing. Under Vietnam's one-party system, the engagement of overseas compatriots is a crucial pillar of its national development strategy, not only boosting economic growth but also elevating Vietnam's presence in the international arena. Particularly, amidst the complex relationship with China, building diverse international networks holds significant importance for Vietnam's diplomatic strategy.
