In 2020, the Association organized a delegation of doctors to visit, give medicine, share and support people in some central provinces affected by floods. The association cooperates with a number of domestic businesses to share with overseas Vietnamese in the prevention of the Covid-19 pandemic by giving people in some countries such as Laos, Cambodia, Thailand medical masks; printing Vietnamese language teaching books for overseas Vietnamese in some countries.

Ambassador Nguyen Phu Binh also informed about some of the Association's activities in the future and wished to continue to receive the support and coordination of the State Committee on Overseas Vietnamese Affair. Accordingly, the Association will coordinate with the Committee to establish the Young Knowledge Club, the Young Entrepreneur Club; or annual activities honoring businesses and individuals bringing Vietnamese goods abroad.
