| (CPV) -The number of overseas Vietnamese, especially businessmen, intellectuals, returning to Vietnam to invest, live and work is increasing. The volume of remittance is also increasing dramatically. This shows that the potentials and strengths of the overseas Vietnamese community is very huge. It is necessary to have breakthrough mechanisms and policies to effectively exploit the resources in social-economic development of the country. There are over 4 million Vietnamese people in countries and territories across the world. They are young, dynamic people, who have great potentials in investment, business, management, science-technology and work in speciality fields and spearhead sectors such as electronic industry, information, machine manufacture, cybernetics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, economic management, banking, securities.

This is an extremely impressive figure in the difficult economic situation today. Therefore, besides removing obstacles on mechanisms and policies, it needs to promote the strength of the national origin of each Vietnamese person living away from the fatherland. Contributions of the overseas Vietnamese to socio-economic development is not small, especially in fields of investment, technological application, scientific research and training. Many overseas Vietnamese intellectuals, scientists are invited to participate in domestic activities such as Professor Ngo Bao Chau has been invited to be the head of the Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics, Professor Truong Nguyen Thanh as the head of the Ho Chi Minh city Institute for Computational Science and Technology. However, the process of overseas Vietnamese entrepreneurs and intellectuals working in Vietnam has arose problems such as differences in thinking and working style, which are measurable barriers for cooperation programs. The application of scientific research has less effectiveness, meritocracy and payment of researchers have not been appropriate. Many overseas Vietnamese experts and intellectuals have reflected that they lack research conditions such as laboratory, international relations, strong working team, difficulties in research grant, meritocracy and remuneration. They also want to be provided full information about socio-economic development situation of the country; being supported in fields of cooperation, investment, exchange with administrations; ensuring the legitimate and legal rights of overseas Vietnamese in the country; creating favorable conditions for them to buy house in Vietnam; implementing the “one-door” mechanism for resolving the administrative procedures for overseas Vietnamese; amending and supplementing a number of provisions on recruiting overseas intellectuals to management positions of domestic agencies. To solve the above problems effectively, overseas Vietnamese desire the government to build a breakthrough mechanism to meet their legitimate and practical aspirations to attract their affection, intelligence, economic resources, positions and influence to contribute to the development of the country and international integration. The overseas Vietnamese, especially businessmen and intellectuals, always foster the patriotic spirit, national self-esteem so they are willing to contribute their talents and energies to the homeland. Therefore, the government should have specific mechanisms, policies to invite investment, creating interesting working environment and meritocracy to attract them./. |
