After a year implementing the strategy on cultural diplomacy to 2030, Vietnam has achieved marked results in the field, helping promote its relations with other countries across all channels of the Party, Government, National Assembly, and people, affirmed Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ha Kim Ngoc.

VOV.VN - The overseas Vietnamese community has always been an important factor in national integration over the years, no matter what country they live and study in, each Vietnamese person is a messenger of friendship, promoting the Vietnamese culture and values abroad, and Vietnamese people in the Republic of Korea are an example.

Under the wise and timely direction of Party and State leaders, in 2022, the diplomatic sector quickly shifted its focus from vaccine diplomacy to economic diplomacy for national recovery and development, Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Minh Vu said in a recent interview granted to the media.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son has described external information service as a bright spot, which has contributed to the achievements recorded by the country and the diplomatic sector in particular.

Each overseas Vietnamese (OV) is an ambassador and an important bridge to bring Vietnam to the world and vice versa, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Pham Quang Hieu wrote in his Lunar New Year greeting letter sent to overseas Vietnamese worldwide.

The pioneering role of the diplomatic sector will be carried forward in building and maintaining an environment of peace and stability, mobilising external resources to serve the national development and raising the country’s position and reputation in the international arena, Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son has said.
