Phu My Hung urban area, Ho Chi Minh city, where a large number of foreigners live and work, is implementing social distancing according to the strictest standards.
According to data from the Ministry of Planning and Investment, Vietnam currently has more than 90,000 foreigners, most concentrated in big cities. Particularly, the number of foreigners living in Phu My Hung urban area, District 7, Ho Chi Minh city is about 15,000 people, accounting for 1/6 of the number of foreigners living in Vietnam. This urban area also attracts many overseas Vietnamese experts, investors and intellectuals to live and work in the country.
Since midnight on July 9, 2021, this urban area has implemented social distancing according to the general policy of Ho Chi Minh city, but with the importance of an urban area attracting foreign investors, people are concerned about the social distancing here.

During the 4th Covid-19 outbreak, Phu My Hung urban area did not have as many blockade points as the previous waves. Part of that is because foreigners have strictly followed the 5k principle of Vietnam. At the same time, the pandemic prevention and control work has also been organized more actively and drastically in places where many foreigners live.

The Party and State of Vietnam have been, are and will be determined to achieve the goal of ensuring and better protecting human rights on the basis of a rule-of-law state and socialist democracy under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, while contributing to the international community in resolving regional and global issues on human rights. Accordingly, it is necessary to well organize the implementation of the following basic contents and tasks.
General Secretary To Lam, in his recent articles and speeches, emphasized that Vietnam is at a pivotal moment, converging all advantages and strengths to usher the country into a new era of nation's rise. This new era follows the era of independence, freedom, building socialism, and innovation. The General Secretary has clearly outlined the foundations for setting goals and seizing historical opportunities to propel the country into this era of national growth.
Reflecting on the practical activities across historical periods helps evaluate the contributions and pivotal role of diplomacy in safeguarding the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, thereby drawing lessons and setting directions for the future.
Vietnam's foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification, and multilateralization of international relations remains a consistent stance of the Party and State. Amid the current trend of opening up and international integration, the Party and State have cleverly led and managed foreign affairs activities with flexibility and promptness, aligning with both domestic and international contexts. Recent successful foreign affairs events have significantly consolidated and elevated Vietnam's position and prestige on the international political stage. However, hostile forces propagate false arguments to distort the Party and State's viewpoints on foreign affairs.
Vietnam's steadfast and flexible diplomatic efforts have contributed to controlling and preventing conflicts, maintaining a peaceful and stable environment for development.
The history of Vietnam’s diplomacy is inseparable from the significant milestones in the nation’s journey of building and defending its homeland. Over nearly five decades since liberation, Vietnam’s foreign affairs have consistently accompanied the country in overcoming immense challenges.
Vietnam consistently and transparently implements its national defense policy of peace and self-defense, always choosing and standing on the side of justice.
