Osaka Consulate General Taps Youth for Overseas Vietnamese Policy Advancement

The Vietnamese Consulate General in Osaka is actively engaging the younger generation to advance the government's latest policy aimed at strengthening ties with Overseas Vietnamese (OV). This initiative is a crucial step as Vietnam enters a new development phase, targeting strategic milestones for 2030 and 2045 and seeking to bolster both domestic and international connections. Politburo Resolution No. 23 calls for stronger links among overseas Vietnamese through sustainable networks connecting experts, intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and young people. The aim is to foster talent that can serve as bridges, ensuring the Vietnamese community abroad remains closely connected to the homeland. The efforts by the Consulate General in Osaka exemplify the concrete implementation of this national policy. The younger generation is seen as the future of Vietnam, and their active participation abroad holds significant potential to contribute to the country's cultural, economic, and social development. Particularly as economic and technological cooperation with Japan expands, vibrant exchanges involving young people are expected to deepen bilateral relations. The Vietnamese government emphasizes that local cooperation with Japan is an important feature of bilateral relations, urging the transformation of strategic commitments into concrete projects. Cooperation in science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation, including joint research and the development of Vietnam's innovation ecosystem, is being promoted. The engagement of youth in overseas Vietnamese affairs is expected to nurture future contributors in these fields, thereby supporting Vietnam's economic growth and enhancing its international competitiveness.
