President Quang meets overseas Vietnamese ahead of Tet

President Quang praised overseas Vietnamese’s great contributions and called on them to make further contribution to national development. President Quang said the Vietnamese Party, State, and people always consider overseas Vietnamese an integral part of the Vietnamese nation.

The delegates represent 4.5 million Vietnamese living across the globe at the 2017 Xuan Que Huong (Homeland Spring) event in Ho Chi Minh City. 

They said Vietnamese living abroad always thinks of the homeland and strive to preserve national culture via opening classes to teach the Vietnamese language. They have also actively worked to mobilize resources to contribute to the homeland’s construction.

On the same day, President Tran Dai Quang, his wife, Ho Chi Minh municipal leaders, and representative of overseas Vietnamese paid tribute to the Hung Kings at the National Cultural and Historical Park and offered incense to President Ho Chi Minh at the Ho Chi Minh Museum. At the Nha Rong wharf, they practiced the ritual of releasing carps on the Kitchen God Day to pray for peace and prosperity.
