PM Dung made the statement during a meeting with newly-appointed ambassadors and heads of representative Vietnamese agencies operating overseas in Hanoi on July 9.

He urged the diplomats to fulfill political diplomatic tasks in order to boost political trust and mutual understanding between the country and other nations throughout the world.

The PM asked diplomats to focus on seeking and expanding markets for Vietnam’s products and services, promoting direct foreign investment, boosting tourism co-operation, as well as calling for official development assistance for socio-economic infrastructure construction, human resource development and climate change adaptation.

They should also strive for further co-operation between Vietnam and other countries in education, training, science, technology, labour, national defence, security and national sovereignty protection, especially in regards to the nation’s sacred sovereignty over sea and islands in the East Sea, the government leader added.

PM Dung also requested the diplomats to effectively implement citizen protection work to ensure the legitimate interests of over four million Vietnamese people studying, working and living abroad, as well as to enhance the missions’ unity and fulfill all entrusted tasks outstandingly.

The diplomats expressed their gratitude to the leader’s reception and promised to do their utmost to fulfill assigned tasks to respond to trust of the Party, the State and people.
