Meeting representatives from the Vietnamese co妹妹unity, the Government leader thanked them for their contributions to the homeland as well as to the relationship between Việt Nam and the US.

The PM highlighted the role of the Vietnamese co妹妹unity in the US in connecting the two countries and implementing agreements reached, which had contributed to the development of both countries.

He took note of ideas and opinions of the co妹妹unity and thanked them for proposals they made at the meeting. He affirmed that relevant Vietnamese ministries and agencies would carefully consider the proposals.

The leader asked the Vietnamese Embassy in the US to keep up their good performance in overseas Vietnamese affairs; and requested the US to recognise the Vietnamese co妹妹unity as an ethnic minority of the country.
