Third, mobilizing overseas Vietnamese to engage in activities that strengthen Vietnam’s relations with other countries in economic, cultural, educational, scientific, and technical areas.

Fourth, organizing people-to-people diplomacy activities and guiding member organizations in peace, solidarity, and friendship initiatives; coordinating and mobilizing foreign non-governmental aid also play a pivotal role.
