Speaking at the meeting, Nguyen Manh Dong, Deputy Chairman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, affirmed that developing Vietnamese culture and people is one of the particularly important contents in the country's development orientation in the new period. Therefore, Vietnamese people abroad, especially the young generations born abroad, are both beneficiaries and ambassadors in the work of preserving, promoting, and spreading Vietnamese culture abroad.
