The Communist Party of Australia (CPA), representatives of associations in Australia and Solomon Islands, and Party members of Vietnamese Party cells in Australia, have conveyed their confidence and high expectations for the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) in Hanoi from January 19-25.

More than four decades of Doi Moi (renewal) have transformed Vietnam from a struggling economy into one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing, a transition that instils great pride in the Vietnamese community in Malaysia over the nation’s rising international stature.

Associate Professor Dr Luong Tuan Anh of the UK's De Montfort University has shared with Vietnam News Agency correspondents in London his views on how the Party and the State have created opportunities for overseas Vietnamese (OV) to engage in national affairs to contribute to the homeland’s development.

Rachel Nguyen Isenschmid, Secretary-General of the Swiss-Viet Economic Forum (SVEF), has highlighted the Vietnamese Party and State's high valuation of contributions by overseas Vietnamese (OVs) as well as the community's confidence in the homeland's future.

Ha Son Tung, Deputy Head of the Advanced Optical Technologies Department at Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), has praised the Party and State for creating open and democratic forums through which overseas Vietnamese (OVs) can directly contribute opinions on major national issues.

Representing more than 6.5 million overseas Vietnamese (OV) worldwide returning home to attend the 11th National Patriotic Emulation Congress, many overseas delegates expressed their joy and pride in being part of the national unity bloc, along with a strong aspiration to join hands in building a prosperous country.

Seeking feedback from overseas Vietnamese (OV) on Party resolutions, draft documents of Party Congresses and major policy orientations reflects an open, progressive and consistent approach in policies towards the OV community, stated Nguyen Duy Anh, Honorary Chairman of the Vietnamese Association in Fukuoka, Japan.

Overseas Vietnamese (OV) are not only an inseparable part of the nation but also a vital bridge in Vietnam’s international integration and development, said Nguyen Hong Son, President of the Union of Vietnamese Associations in Japan (UVAJ) and a delegate to the 11th National Patriotic Emulation Congress.

Nguyen Trung Kien, Chairman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese (SCOV) under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has emphasised that the intellectual and science – technology resources of the overseas Vietnamese (OV) community are a strategic advantage for Vietnam in the global race in the new era.

The Vietnam-Australia Scholars & Experts Association (VASEA) and Vietnam-Australia Cultural Exchange Organisation (VACEO) held their 2025 year-end review programme in Sydney on December 14, honouring knowledge, culture and the strong sense of community among Vietnamese people in Australia.
