WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính met with staff  of the Vietnamese Embassy in Washington D.C and representatives from the Vietnamese community on the east coast of the US on May 14 (US time).

The PM hailed the efforts by the embassy in implementing the external policies of the Party and State, building and promoting the image of the nation and people of Việt Nam to US friends, and contributing to making the Việt Nam-US ties more practical and effective, including the thorough preparations for the PM’s trip to the US to attend the ASEAN-US Special Summit and visit the UN.

He asked the embassy to promptly implement agreements reached between the two countries during this visit.

Meeting representatives from the Vietnamese community, the Government leader thanked them for their contributions to the homeland as well as to the relationship between Việt Nam and the US.

He reiterated that the Party and State always considered the Vietnamese community abroad as an indispensable part of the community of ethnic groups in Việt Nam, and always did their best to support overseas Vietnamese to settle down in the host countries and make positive contributions to the national construction and defence at home.

The PM highlighted the role of the Vietnamese community in the US in connecting the two countries and implementing agreements reached, which had contributed to the development of both countries.

He took note of ideas and opinions of the community and thanked them for proposals they made at the meeting. He affirmed that relevant Vietnamese ministries and agencies would carefully consider the proposals.

The leader asked the Vietnamese Embassy in the US to keep up their good performance in overseas Vietnamese affairs; and requested the US to recognise the Vietnamese community as an ethnic minority of the country.

On the occasion, the PM attended a ceremony to put the nameplate on the new headquarters of the Vietnamese Embassy in Washington D.C.
