Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has stressed the need to develop a comprehensive, modern and professional diplomatic sector while chairing a working session with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) in Ha Noi on May 11 to review its recent performance and discuss key, urgent and strategic tasks for the time ahead.

The Party and State's proactive efforts to collect feedback from overseas Vietnamese on draft documents of the 14th National Party Congress, constitutional amendments, and the formulation of major resolutions and laws represent the country’s “important step forward that demonstrates strategic vision and proactive governance,” reflecting renewed thinking in people-to-people diplomacy and the policy of great national unity.

People-to-people diplomacy should be regarded as a strategic pillar of comprehensive and modern diplomacy and a key component of the national development and defence strategy, Politburo member and standing member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Tran Cam Tu has stated.

Vice Chairwoman of the Viet Nam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Ha Thi Nga and visiting Permanent Vice President of the Lao Front for National Construction (LFNC) Central Committee Inlavanh Keobounphanh pledged joint efforts to promote people-to-people diplomacy between the two countries at their meeting in Ha Noi on December 5.

President of the Viet Nam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Bui Thi Minh Hoai welcomed delegates to the 13th Viet Nam–China People’s Forum in Ha Noi on November 25, expressing her thanks for fostering bilateral friendship and solidarity in recent years.

Vietnamese intellectuals abroad, particularly those with experience in both Vietnam and Japan, can provide valuable policy advice in science and technology.

The Vietnam Union and Friendship Organisation (VUFO) on March 28 held a meeting with Ambassadors and Heads of the Vietnamese representative offices abroad, for the 2023-2026 tenure, before leaving for duty.
