The program was attended by more than 100 delegates, including youth, intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and representatives of associations and organizations within the Vietnamese community in Japan.
Speaking at the seminar, Consul General of Vietnam in Osaka Nguyen Truong Son introduced the background, significance, and main contents, guiding viewpoints, tasks, and solutions of Resolution 23-NQ/TW regarding work related to overseas Vietnamese.
The Consul General shared notable new strategic thinking points. It emphasizes that overseas Vietnamese are not only an inseparable part of the Vietnamese ethnic community but also a crucial strategic resource, serving as a bridge between Vietnam and the world, accompanying and directly participating in the cause of building, developing, and defending the homeland.
The resolution also marks a new development in the Party's thinking, shifting from the motto “mobilize, gather, care” to “accompany, create mechanisms,” enabling overseas Vietnamese to participate more extensively in the country's development process.
The Consul General also emphasised the goal of building a strong overseas Vietnamese community that integrates well and preserves national identity, focusing on enhancing legal status, supporting integration, stabilizing life, preserving the Vietnamese language and cultural identity, and promoting the community's role as “cultural ambassadors of the country and people of Vietnam.”

The Consul General assessed the Vietnamese community in Kansai as young, dynamic, and continuously developing, contributing positively to both the homeland and the host society. However, he acknowledged the existence of “bad apples” who violate local laws, affecting Vietnam's image abroad.
According to Consul General Nguyen Truong Son, the younger generation plays a crucial role in the development of the Vietnamese community in Japan. Vietnamese youth studying, researching, working, and doing business in Japan have ample opportunities to access advanced knowledge, technology, and management methods, thereby contributing directly, substantively, and effectively to the country's development.
The Consul General also introduced upcoming activities of the Consulate General to accompany the community, including organizing legal dissemination sessions, building a Vietnamese knowledge network in the region, and connecting Vietnamese organizations and associations in the host country with localities and businesses in Vietnam to create cooperation opportunities and contribute to domestic socio-economic development. The Consul General urged the community and associations to continue working together to implement Resolution 23-NQ/TW in practice.

From the perspective of community activities, Ms. Le Thuong, representing the Organizing Committee, believes that creating spaces for youth to meet, exchange, and connect is essential at this stage.
“What we care about is how to bring the spirit of Resolution 23-NQ/TW into concrete actions. Vietnamese youth in Japan possess knowledge, experience, and many initiatives. If these resources are connected, the community will have more practical activities,” Ms. Le Thuong shared.

During the program, delegates exchanged views on youth activities within the community; education, culture; business connections; innovation; and supporting the younger generation in studying and establishing careers in Japan.
Many opinions also addressed strengthening links between youth in various Japanese localities, building a network connecting intellectuals and young entrepreneurs, thereby creating additional channels of cooperation between the Vietnamese community and Japanese organizations and businesses.
With nearly 200 delegates attending, the seminar was an opportunity for Vietnamese youth in Japan to directly discuss current issues facing the younger generation and propose specific activities to harness the resources of overseas Vietnamese.
The seminar also contributed to bringing the content of Resolution 23-NQ/TW closer to the Vietnamese community in Japan, especially the younger generation, thereby encouraging youth to actively integrate, contribute to the community, and maintain ties with their homeland.
