Priorities Set for Overseas Vietnamese Work in 2024
	Overseas Vietnamese - Ambassadors for Developing Vietnam-Thailand Strategic Partnership

The press briefing focused on the planned activities for the community for the second half of 2024. One of the highlights is the organization of the 4th World Conference of Overseas Vietnamese and the 2024 forum of OV intellectuals and experts scheduled. The event is scheduled to take place in Hanoi from August 21-28. About 600 delegates are expected to participate.

Deputy Minister Le Thi Thu Hang said that the conference and forum aim to evaluate the outcomes of the two decades implementing Politburo's Resolution 36-NQ/TW, dated March 26, 2004, on overseas-Vietnamese-related affairs. The assessment will contribute to the summary of the resolution and the formulation of the Party’s policies concerning the group serving the upcoming 14th National Party Congress.

She also shared that the events seek to enhance the communications of the Party's policies and the State's laws to the community of Vietnamese living abroad. They will provide a platform for domestic agencies to understand the expatriates’ situation, aspirations, and challenges, thereby improving support and care for them, cited Vietnamplus.

The events contribute to strengthening connections between overseas Vietnamese and domestic entrepreneurs and experts for technology transfer and application. They can use this opportunity to offer their ideas and suggestions for national development in the new context.

The Prime Minister is expected to attend and deliver a keynote address at the opening session, said Hang.

Regarding the agenda of the forum, there will be four thematic sessions focusing on the role of the Vietnamese diaspora in high-tech development, economic growth, national unity, as well as the promotion of Vietnamese culture and language. Distinguished expatriates are set to meet with Party and State leaders, conduct field surveys, and engage in discussions with local authorities and businesses.

Also, this year's Vietnam Summer Camp will involve 120 young overseas Vietnamese aged between 16-24. It will be held in 12 Vietnamese provinces and cities from July 14 to 29.

Camp's activities include visiting historical sites and scenic locations, experiencing traditional culture, joining in cultural and sports exchanges, and performing social charity affairs. The campers will have many opportunities to pay tribute to their ancestors and national heroes.

The World Conference of Overseas Vietnamese has been held three times, in 2009, 2012, and 2016. Meanwhile, the summer camp is an annual program starting in 2003.
