HCM City places great importance on developing science and technology, mobilising the intellectual resources of Vietnamese people worldwide and creating favourable conditions for them to contribute to the nation’s development, according to vice chairman of the municipal People's Committee Nguyen Van Dung.
Speaking at ‘The Vietnam forum: The moment’ held at Hong Bang International University in the city from August 16 to 17, Dung praised the importance of intellectuals, scientists, and Vietnamese artists within and outside the country.
The two-day forum organised by the HCM City Peace and Development Foundation (HPDF) connected intellectuals, scientists, and Vietnamese artists from all over the world.
It aims to provide opportunities for intellectuals, experts, scientific and cultural activists, and young people within and outside Vietnam to contribute their thoughts and opinions.
It brought together over 70 speakers who are leading experts in various fields and industries, including economics, culture, education, and the arts.
Through this event, the lessons and experiences of Vietnamese people worldwide were shared, contributing to the recognition and affirmation of the country’s image on the global stage.
Dung said the city government always seeks to create favourable conditions for every Vietnamese individual, regardless of their location, to contribute their intellect, talent, and creativity to the nation’s construction and development.
“These individuals harbor high aspirations and noble goals, always desiring to accompany the nation and overcome challenges and difficulties”, he said.
He highly praised the idea of creating an electronic map showcasing the talents and achievements of Vietnamese people globally.
Through events like the forum, whether Vietnamese individuals reside and work within or outside the country, they can contribute uniquely to the homeland.
Within the framework of the forum, the organising committee presented the results of a branch project that surveyed Vietnam’s national brand and Vietnamese identity.
Another notable feature was the electronic mosaic titled "Colorful Vietnam: Illuminating Faces of Vietnamese People Worldwide", highlighting vibrant achievements and outstanding contributions across various fields by Vietnamese individuals within and outside the country.
