This year’s forum takes place in a special context. Our country is entering a new phase of development – with the aspiration to become a developed, high-income country by 2045. Science and technology, innovation and digital transformation are becoming the central driving forces of development.

This is both a challenge and a great opportunity to unleash all potentials and mobilize all resources, including those of overseas Vietnamese, to realize the country's development goals.

Deputy Minister Le Thi Thu Hang said that in the coming time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will coordinate with relevant ministries and sectors to continue creating a favorable legal framework, guidelines and policies so that overseas Vietnamese experts and intellectuals can feel secure in staying and contributing to the country.

Deputy Minister Le Thi Thu Hang affirmed: "The Party, State and Ministry of Foreign Affairs always attach importance to and pay deep attention to the Vietnamese community abroad, including young Vietnamese experts and intellectuals abroad."

Recently, the Politburo issued the “four pillars” (Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, Resolution No. 59-NQ/TW, Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW, Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW). Resolution 57 on science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation has put forward breakthrough policies to attract and employ domestic and foreign experts and scientists, including overseas Vietnamese returning to work and live in the country.

The National Assembly has just issued a series of new laws such as the amended Nationality Law, which loosens regulations on acquiring/returning Vietnamese nationality while retaining foreign nationality; the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation, which grants more autonomy to individuals and scientific research organizations.

Recently, General Secretary To Lam asked ministries and sectors to propose special preferential policies to attract at least 100 leading experts to return to work in the country. "The above policies and guidelines increasingly create favorable conditions for overseas Vietnamese experts and intellectuals to contribute to the country's development," the Deputy Minister emphasized.

Deputy Minister Le Thi Thu Hang said that in the coming time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will coordinate with relevant ministries and branches to continue creating a framework, guidelines, and favorable legal policies so that overseas Vietnamese experts and intellectuals can feel secure in staying and contributing to the country; build an equal, open, and attractive working environment for overseas Vietnamese, with adequate and modern facilities, appropriate remuneration, and no distinction between the public and private sectors to maximize the research and creativity of overseas Vietnamese; and place specific orders for overseas Vietnamese in strategic technology groups (for overseas Vietnamese returning to work in the country, as well as working remotely).

The Deputy Minister expressed his hope that young Vietnamese intellectuals abroad will continue to unite and integrate well into the host society, promote their active role in the community, and act as a bridge in the friendly relations between Vietnam and other countries.

At the same time, continue to contribute resources and intelligence to the country's development through many forms: contributing remotely through teaching, exchanging experiences, sharing technological secrets, connecting with foreign corporations and research facilities, supporting human resource training... or directly returning to the country to research, work, start businesses, and participate in important projects of the country.

At the meeting, Vietnamese intellectual delegates abroad exchanged and discussed enthusiastically, contributing many enthusiastic, practical and responsible opinions on mechanisms and policies related to the specific implementation of Resolution 57; key priorities in science and technology; methods of attracting talents; continuing to improve legal policies; working regimes in the country...

The Global Forum of Young Vietnamese Intellectuals is an annual activity organized by the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union to create a space for young Vietnamese intellectuals at home and abroad to propose initiatives, solutions, and policy recommendations to support the implementation of national development goals.

This year's forum has the theme "Young Vietnamese intellectuals around the world contribute to the country entering a new era" with the participation of more than 200 delegates who are outstanding young Vietnamese scientists and experts, including 72 delegates studying, researching and working from 20 countries and territories around the world.
