With the motto of “proactive, flexible, creative, effective”, the Department of Foreign Affairs has advised the Provincial People’s Committee to issue many directive documents to guide specialized agencies to effectively implement the work of people’s diplomacy. Awareness of all levels, sectors and localities towards the role of foreign affairs in general and people’s diplomacy in particular is increasingly enhanced.
