Best regardsDear Vietnamese compatriots abroad,
Covid-19 is a dangerous pandemic with rapid spread globally and increasingly complex and unpredictable developments.
Our Party and State have given strong directions, implemented synchronously and resolutely many solutions to prevent and control the epidemic early and applied at a higher level than WHO's recommendations. Vietnam is controlling the situation, achieving initial positive results with 50% of the infected people cured and especially no deaths, which has been highly appreciated by the World Health Organization and the international community.
These results were achieved thanks to the participation of the entire political system from the central to local levels, the tireless efforts of medical staff, officers and soldiers of the armed forces, diplomatic staff, information and propaganda staff, organizations, etc., as well as the solidarity and joint action of the entire nation, including the extremely important contributions and support of the overseas Vietnamese community.
On behalf of the Party and State, I highly appreciate your valuable and practical support and sharing, both materially and spiritually, for the work of epidemic prevention and control in the country in recent times.
I appreciate that precious spirit of solidarity, humanity, mutual support and assistance, and at the same time commend the efforts of overseas Vietnamese, workers, students and pupils living, working and studying in countries to overcome difficulties caused by the pandemic, comply with the regulations of the host country to protect themselves and the community. Those actions demonstrate the tradition of solidarity, patriotism, humanity and the spirit of overcoming difficulties of our nation and people.
I welcome Vietnamese representative agencies abroad to quickly, promptly and effectively implement citizen protection work and support the Vietnamese community abroad to stabilize their lives during this difficult period.
I request that the representative agencies continue to make efforts, promote a high sense of responsibility, cooperate with relevant agencies of the host country, ensure the rights, implement disease prevention and treatment measures for the Vietnamese community in the host country. At the same time, affirm Vietnam's positive spirit and responsibility towards the international community, continue to make efforts to coordinate actions and share difficulties with all countries to soon win the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dear friends,,
General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong has made an appeal: "The entire Vietnamese people, let's join hands and unite to overcome all difficulties and challenges to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic!"
In implementing this Call, with the tradition of patriotism, solidarity and humanity, I call on our compatriots abroad to continue to be united, join hands, and stand side by side with the country and people at home in the work of disease prevention and control; enhance responsibility, promote the spirit of self-protection is to protect family and society; strictly comply with disease prevention and control measures and regulations of host countries, especially social distancing, travel restrictions, and prevention of disease spread.
The fight against the Covid-19 pandemic still has many hardships and difficulties ahead, requiring more efforts from all of us, including the overseas Vietnamese community. With the positive results in the work of preventing and fighting the pandemic so far, together with the consensus of our compatriots and soldiers nationwide and our compatriots abroad, we will certainly defeat the pandemic.
Wishing you solidarity, health and success.
