During the meetings, the delegation updated participants on policies and laws related to the legitimate rights and interests of OVs such as the Land Law, the Housing Law, and the Law on Real Estate Business and Law on Citizen Identification; sea and island issues, programmes for Vietnamese expats abroad, and particularly human resources.
It also briefed them on activities organised for OVs in the homeland every year, as well as opportunities for them to contribute their opinions to the law-making process and the drafting of other political documents.
Nguyen Hoai Bac, a Vietnamese-Canadian entrepreneur investing in Vietnam, stated that the information provided by the delegation was very useful and demonstrated that the Party and the State are creating the best possible policies for the overseas Vietnamese community.
According to Julie Nguyen, President of the Canada-Vietnam Trade Council, the delegation's visit was an opportunity for OVs to propose initiatives on promoting economic, trade, and investment cooperation between the two countries; proposals related to domestic policies to facilitate OVs’ investment in the homeland and suggestions for connecting Canadian businesses with Vietnamese companies; and providing Canadian-standard vocational training for Vietnamese workers who wish to work legally in Canada.
Deputy Foreign Minister Hang, who is also Chairwoman of the COVA, said that the feedback from the community reflects their constant connection to the homeland and their desire to contribute more to the country.
On the occasion, the delegation visited and worked with representatives of the 88 Supermarket chain, which is connecting with many businesses in the homeland to export Vietnamese goods to Canada.
