The mission of this website is to help international friends and people around the world understand more accurately and fully about Vietnam, its people, the policies of the Party and State, and our country's reform and integration process; and at the same time contribute to raising the understanding and awareness of all levels of society about Vietnam's foreign policy, the world situation, and global issues.”

Mr. Vu Xuan Hong, President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations, said that after launching the website in Chinese, the union will continue to prepare for the launch of websites in Russian and English in the near future.
