That is a very good thing. The Vietnamese community abroad is an important resource of the country. Informing overseas Vietnamese about the situation in the country, the Prime Minister recalled the war wounds that Vietnam had to face in the past, and that wound, according to him, has not yet healed when there are still 300 martyrs without information. Looking back on the 35 years of renovation, the Prime Minister affirmed that Vietnam has achieved many achievements of historical significance, as General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong once said, "Our country has never had the foundation, position, potential and international prestige as it does today." One of the outstanding achievements that the Prime Minister summarized in terms of foreign affairs results is that in just the past 9 months, Vietnam has welcomed 3 great leaders to visit with sincere feelings, including: General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping; US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Therefore, the Party and the State always pay attention, take care of and issue many mechanisms and policies for people to live, work and contribute to the homeland.
