Overseas Vietnamese have maintained national cultural identity, remained connected to the homeland, and supported national unity and development. They are increasingly recognized as an important resource contributing to national development.

Before the spirits of the Hung Kings and national founders, the delegation pledged unity and continued contributions to national protection and defense, while strengthening overseas Vietnamese communities. They also prayed for peace, prosperity, and stronger international standing for the country.
Phu Tho's leaders expressed their desire to expand practical and effective cooperation with international partners and overseas Vietnamese, prioritizing investment in mineral processing, livestock products, manufacturing, construction materials, supporting industries, agro-food processing, and logistics.
In tourism and services, the province aims to develop distinctive products, strengthen connectivity with domestic and international destinations, and promote eco-tourism and community-based tourism linked with cultural preservation and sustainable development.
