Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Vo Van Hoan asked the committee to pay greater attention to the popularization of the Party and State’s policies and laws, especially those related to OV affairs.
He underlined the need to strengthen the application of information technology to provide timely update and effectively exploit data on OVs and Ho Chi Minh City citizens living and working abroad.

Various conferences, seminars and forums were held to strengthen connectivity between OV community and their fellows at home and removing difficulties facing the Vietnamese community abroad, thus attracting the participation and great contribution to the socio-economic recovery and development of the city, he said.
