Reporting to the Prime Minister, Vietnamese Ambassador to Romania Do Duc Thanh said that although the Vietnamese community in Romania is not large, only about 600 people, it has promoted the tradition of solidarity, "mutual love", helping each other to stabilize life and always looking back to the roots and homeland with the spirit of "remembering the source when drinking water". At the same time, the Embassy and the community always pay attention to educating the younger generation, making efforts to maintain Vietnamese teaching and learning activities to preserve and develop the Vietnamese language. Many Vietnamese students in Romania are good students, some of whom have won national and international prizes in natural subjects.

Chairman of the Vietnamese Association in Romania Pham Duy Hung said that the Association, established in 1993, has promoted its leading role in connecting the community, coordinating with the Embassy to organize many activities towards the homeland and country; supporting and helping people overcome difficulties to stabilize their lives and integrate into the local society. The Business Association, Youth Association, Student Association, Women's Club and a collective of nearly 3,000 Vietnamese workers have had many exciting activities, thereby expanding solidarity and enriching the cultural and spiritual life of the Vietnamese community here.

At the meeting, Vietnamese people in Romania expressed their emotion at the attention and care of the Party and State for the Vietnamese community abroad, including Vietnamese people in Romania.

Mr. Nguyen Van Toi, Chairman of the Vietnam Business Association, said that Romania's labor demand is very large, this is an opportunity for Vietnam's labor export activities. However, recently, there has been a situation where labor export companies send workers to Romania without control, leading to a number of problems, causing loss of reputation in the community in the host country. Responding to this content, Deputy Minister of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs Le Van Thanh said that there are currently about 700,000 Vietnamese workers working abroad. Romania is a very potential market, able to receive workers at many different levels, with incomes quite high compared to the general level. The Deputy Minister said that recently, relevant agencies have taken many measures to review and rectify, and it is expected that during the Prime Minister's visit, the two sides will sign a cooperation document in this field, thereby creating conditions to send more and more Vietnamese workers to Romania, both to better ensure the legitimate and legal rights and interests, and to raise awareness of law enforcement, discipline, and industrial style of Vietnamese workers.

Speaking at the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that Romania is the first EU member country to have made a noble gesture of supporting 300,000 doses of vaccine and medical equipment to prevent and fight COVID-19 for Vietnam at a time when access to vaccines was very difficult, contributing to helping Vietnam soon overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and open up, recover and develop the economy.

The Prime Minister affirmed that the Party and State always pay attention to the overseas Vietnamese community. Resolution 36 of the Politburo affirmed that overseas Vietnamese are an inseparable part of the Vietnamese ethnic community. The Party and State always strive to care for the overseas Vietnamese community, support them to have a solid legal status, stabilize their lives, and integrate into the host society; firmly consolidate the great national unity bloc; encourage and create conditions for them to actively contribute to the cause of national construction and defense. In 2023 and the first days of 2024, a number of policies for overseas Vietnamese continue to be specified in laws, including the Law on Identity Cards and the Law on Housing (amended). In particular, the Land Law (amended) recently passed by the National Assembly has breakthrough regulations on land and housing for overseas Vietnamese.

The Party and the State also pay great attention to creating conditions for overseas Vietnamese to preserve and promote their cultural identity, and to teach and learn Vietnamese. Other recommendations from overseas Vietnamese continue to be actively studied by the authorities, with solutions proposed. In the coming time, the Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs and relevant agencies to continue to support and facilitate Vietnamese people to work and settle in Romania; review and manage labor export companies more closely and further improve the quality of training for Vietnamese workers working abroad in terms of foreign languages, qualifications, skills, legal knowledge, awareness, working style, etc. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to listen to and resolve proposals and recommendations from overseas Vietnamese, and report to competent authorities on issues beyond its authority. The Prime Minister asked the Vietnamese Embassy in Romania to continue to pay attention and do better in the work of overseas Vietnamese in the spirit of "treating the work of overseas Vietnamese as their own family, considering overseas Vietnamese as their own blood relatives". Recalling some deeply attached memories during the time studying and working in Romania in the past, the Prime Minister asked the overseas Vietnamese to continue to preserve and promote the good image of the country and people of Vietnam towards Hungary, as well as the traditional and good friendship between the two countries and peoples.
