Nguyen Thanh Son, acting chairman of the government’s Overseas Vietnamese Committee, said Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung had asked all government agencies to boost efforts on this issue.
PM Dung had requested relevant agencies to review their work and map out future strategies on overseas affairs to report back to him by September 30.
The PM had also asked concerned ministries to develop plans to teach the Vietnamese language to overseas Vietnamese.
Son said this year’s Vietnam Summer Camp Program held in locations across the country would take place from July 18 to August 2.
An estimated 84 overseas Vietnamese youths from various countries, including Russia, Hungary and Germany, are expected to attend the event, organized annually since 2004.
Overseas Vietnamese will have another opportunity to get together at the “Moscow Meeting Program” to be held in the Russian capital in the near future, Son said.
About 3.5 million overseas Vietnamese live in some 90 countries and territories around the world.
