Bangkok: A recent exchange session of Vietnamese students at Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University became an opportunity for them to discuss, share ideas, and provide feedback on the draft documents to be submitted at the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Many contributions focused on how to effectively promote the intellectual resources of overseas Vietnamese (OV) students and scholars to serve the country’s development goals and emphasized the role of science, technology, and education as key drivers of sustainable growth.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the students highlighted the potential of harnessing the expertise and insights of Vietnamese intellectuals abroad. They believe that these individuals can contribute significantly to Vietnam’s objectives by sharing their knowledge and experience gained in foreign countries. This approach could help in tackling challenges and fostering advancements in various fields crucial for Vietnam’s progress.

The session underscored the importance of creating conducive environments and policies that encourage overseas Vietnamese to contribute to the nation’s development. The students suggested initiatives that could facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange between Vietnam and its intellectual diaspora, which would be instrumental in achieving the country’s long-term goals.
