VietNamNet Bridge - More than 100 Vietnamese nationals who are working and residing in Japan attended a get-together in Tokyo on April 29 to mark the 33rd anniversary of Southern Vietnam Liberation and National Unification Day (April 30) and the 118th birthday of the late President Ho Chi Minh (May 19).

At the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Nguyen Phu Binh highlighted Vietnam’s major achievements in recent times, including an annual GDP growth rate of 8.5 percent and socio-political stability. The country joined the World Trade Organisation and was elected to the United Nations Security Council for the 2008-2009 term.

Mr Binh spoke highly of the significant contribution to the homeland by the Vietnamese communities in Japan and other parts of the world.

He pointed out several challenges facing the nation at present and said the Party and State hope to receive further contributions from Vietnamese nationals abroad.

Ngo Dieu Ke, vice chairman of the Vietnamese association in Japan, said that Vietnamese nationals in Japan will do their best to contribute to the homeland.

Representing Vietnamese students in Japan, Tran Hoai Vu asked the Government to develop practical policies aimed at drawing human resources from abroad to Vietnam.
