During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always paid special attention to overseas Vietnamese. In his New Year letter to his compatriots in 1946, he wrote: “The Fatherland and the Government always miss you as parents miss their absent children. That is the human heart and the natural order, that is the love of a family.”
