Attending the meeting were Secretary of the Party Committee of HCM City Dinh La Thang; Chairman of the municipal People's Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong; and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chairman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Vu Hong Nam.
The delegates represent 4.5 million Vietnamese living across the world at the 2017 Xuan Que Huong (Homeland Spring) event in Ho Chi Minh City. 
At the meeting, the delegates said Vietnamese living abroad always thinks of the homeland and strive to preserve national culture via opening classes to teach the Vietnamese language. They have also actively worked to mobilise resources to contribute to the homeland’s construction.
Speaking at the event, President Quang appreciated the Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs and the HCM City People’s Committee for organising the Xuan Que Huong programme and many activities to welcome the Overseas Vietnamese back home for the traditional Lunar New Year.
