He asked VUFO chapters to promote collaboration and share experience towards creating a collective power.
In 2017, positive results were seen in people-to-people diplomacy, notably holding a ceremony to honour Lao students, candle-lighting in Vietnam – Laos international martyrs’ cemetery, the ninth Vietnam-China People’s Forum, the ninth Vietnam – India People’s Friendship Festival in New Delhi, a series of celebrations for the 50th founding anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
A representative from the Vietnam – Cambodia Friendship Association (VCFA) suggested that each VCFA member from the grassroots to central level must fully grasp the Party’s diplomatic guidelines and the association’s operation purpose.
Participants proposed stepping up administrative reform, connecting with overseas Vietnamese to attract resources, and boosting collaboration to build an efficient operation plan for the VUFO.
