Vietnamese in Australia having high expectations for 13th Party Congress

The 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam will take place from Jan. 25 to Feb. 2 in Hanoi. The Vietnamese community in Australia expects the upcoming Party Congress to judiciously select competent leaders to lead the country over the course of the next five years, said Tran Ba Phuc, President of the Vietnam Business Association in Australia.

People in Vietnam and around the world are closely following the important political event in the belief that directions and decisions made will create a breakthrough for the country’s development in the future, helping to further enhance Vietnam’s position in the region and the world.

In an interview granted to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)’s reporter in Sydney, Phuc, who is also a member of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee, said that Vietnamese people living overseas have made substantial contributions to the country’s socio-economic development and culture.

He expressed his hope that the Party and State will issue policies enabling representatives of Vietnamese communities abroad to participate in powerful State agencies and have their voices heard.

Phuc proposed that the Party and State create the most favourable conditions possible for Vietnamese overseas who wish to keep their Vietnamese nationality or be renaturalised in Vietnam.

He also expected that the Party and State will direct the implementation of a resolution recognising the role of the private sector, to be able to assess and support the sector and make it an important driver in the country’s economic development.

Vietnam has recorded important achievements and breakthroughs in the five years of implementing the resolution of the 12th National Party Congress, improving the country’s prestige, role, and position in the international arena, he said.

A Vietnamese passport has never been as valuable and meaningful to Vietnamese people living abroad as it is now, Phuc stressed.

The Vietnamese community in Australia now numbers about 300,000, who have been working actively to connect the two countries./.
