The Prime Minister affirmed that the overseas Vietnamese community is a part and resource of the Vietnamese community. Therefore, the Party and the State always have the responsibility and make efforts to protect the legitimate and legal rights of overseas Vietnamese. The Prime Minister hopes that overseas Vietnamese will always be responsible for the country; do business and live legally, abide by the laws of the host country, and always be a bridge for the relationship between the two countries.
