Delegates at the meeting briefed the State leader on the situation of Vietnamese women living in foreign countries. They said the number of such women is increasing and the women are having significant influence on the development of the community.
They said the conference created a good chance for over 200 delegates from 28 nations and territories to share experience in working abroad and integrating into the host community.
The OV women expressed their hopes that the Party and State issue more specific policies for the Vietnamese living abroad. They also wished for more support to overseas Vietnamese communities in the teaching Vietnamese language for young generations.
For his part, President Sang affirmed that the overseas Vietnamese community is an unseparated part of the Vietnamese nation, and OV women play an important role in preserving the mother language, traditions and cultures.
The State leader said the conference should be held regularly to help connect the OVs and the homeland.
