Overseas Vietnamese are always welcomed to live and work in Vietnam, thus contributing to the national development, said Chairwoman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Council Pham Phuong Thao.
Thao made the statement while receiving newly-appointed US Consul General in HCM City Le Thanh An on Wednesday. An is the first Vietnamese-American holding the position of the US Consul General in HCMC.
Thao spoke highly of the role and contributions of the Vietnamese community in the US, especially young people, and affirmed that the city has always created favorable conditions for Vietnamese youths overseas in general and in the US in particular to visit and live in the homeland.
The US’s cooperation programs and projects implemented over the past time, including those of Vietnamese people, have remarkably contributed to the city’s development, she said.
For his part, the US Consul General stressed that during his tenure, he will try his utmost to develop the cooperation between the two countries.
He expressed his wish to join the municipal authorities to organize more exchanges between the Vietnamese community in the US and local residents, especially programs for young people.
