Party leader meets with overseas Vietnamese on homeland visit for Tet

Ha Noi, Feb. 1 (VNA) - Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh, on Feb. 1, met with 59 representatives of overseas Vietnamese from 21 countries and territories worldwide who have returned to their homeland to celebrate the traditional lunar New Year Festival (Tet).

Manh expressed his pleasure to see overseas Vietnamese make progress in their daily life and business, while trying to maintain the Vietnamese cultural identity, promote mutual assistance in the community and pay attention to the young generations.

The leader praised the overseas Vietnamese's warm sentiments toward the homeland and their contributions to national construction and defence. He said he was pleased at the success of many overseas Vietnamese investors and businesspeople in Viet Nam, and the contributions made by overseas Vietnamese cultural activists and artists to the country.

He informed the overseas Vietnamese about Viet Nam's socio-economic development in 2004 and the orientation for national development this year.

He said Viet Nam now has many opportunities for further development, which require all Vietnamese at home and abroad to try their best to fulfil their duty. He said he hoped that all Vietnamese, wherever they live, should contribute to the tradition of unity in national construction and defence and join efforts in building an independent country with the goals of a rich people, a strong country, and a fair, democratic and civilized society.
