Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh met with staff members of the Vietnamese Embassy and representatives from the Vietnamese community in Hungary in Budapest on January 19, as part of his official visit to the European country.
The Vietnamese community in Hungary numbers about 6,000, most of whom live in Budapest and adjacent areas, according to Ambassador Nguyen Thi Bich Thao. She said the community is united and organises many activities to preserve the national cultural characteristics and promote Vietnam’s image in the host society.
Addressing the meeting, PM Chinh mentioned the Politburo’s Resolution 36 on overseas Vietnamese affairs which emphasizes that the overseas Vietnamese are an integral part of the community of ethnic groups of Vietnam.
The Government and National Assembly took many actions in implementing the resolution last year, including addressing issues related to ID cards, visa and property ownership of overseas Vietnamese, he said, pledging more will be done to ensure that the overseas Vietnamese are an integral part of the Vietnamese nation.
