Phnom Penh (VNA) 𒊎– The vigorous anti-corruption efforts and the policy of streamlining the state apparatus will bring success to Vietnam, enabling it to harness its strengths for a new development path in the era of the nation's rise, said Chairman of the Khmer-Vietnam Association in Cambodia (KVA)'s Preah Sihanouk branch Tran Van Nam.
Speaking to Vietnam News Agency reporters on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2025 and the 95th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) (February 3, 1930 - 2025), 76-year-old Nam, who has been living in Cambodia for nearly 40 years, said that overseas Vietnamese like him, despite living far from their homeland, always pay attention to the situation in Vietnam through the media.
He said thanks to mass media, he knew that the CPV is vigorously intensifying the fight against corruption and the policy of streamlining the state apparatus from central to local levels.
Expressing joy at the renewal moves and the recent changes in the country through many major policies of the Party and State, Nam believed that if these policies are implemented thoroughly, the overseas Vietnamese community will respond enthusiastically to and support them.
As a Vietnamese living away from the homeland, he said he always hopes to see a strong Vietnam that continues to advance further. To achieve this, he emphasised that Vietnam needs to persistently pursue these renewal policies.
He expressed his wish that under the leadership of the CPV, Vietnam will reach agreements with Cambodia that ensure long-term benefits of both sides, including the living conditions and legal status of the overseas Vietnamese in Cambodia.
He expressed a desire that in the coming time, the leaders and relevant authorities of Vietnam and Cambodia will continue to discuss to find solutions to support people of Vietnamese origin in Cambodia. This will be a premise for them to gradually stabilise their lives, integrate into the local community, contribute to Cambodia’s development as well as to the friendship and solidarity between Vietnam and Cambodia./.
