Promoting Vietnamese Human Resources Overseas To Connect Localities And Businesses

Vietnamese people living abroad are an integral part and one of the crucial resources of the nation. Hai Phong City has a ratio of overseas Vietnamese to the population of about 2%, ranking in the country’s top group. Overseas Vietnamese always take pride in the nation, look out for the country,  actively participate in local connection activities and businesses, and contribute to the homeland.

Hai Phong City has more than 47,000 Vietnamese residing overseas in 56 countries and territories, mainly concentrated in some Asian, European, and American countries, as well as 80 businesses established by Hai Phong people abroad and 60 domestic investment projects. The value of remittances sent to the city increased by an average of 10-15% per year, making a significant contribution to stabilizing the balance of payments for economic development. This is also an important bridge connecting local goods, services, and businesses in the host country and Hai Phong City. Along with cultural diplomacy and foreign information activities, the city also promotes on-site economic diplomacy activities through receptions and working sessions with international delegations, businesses, and international organizations, organizing trade promotion and advertising delegations in countries such as the USA, Japan, Korea, China, countries in the EU, ASEAN, etc., connecting businesses and localities to participate in product introduction activities, contributing to promoting cooperation with foreign partners./.
