At a national conference in Hanoi on Tuesday to review the work in 2019 and set out tasks for 2020, Mr. Thuong, who is also Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Communication and Education, said: “We need to strengthen links of international relations activities between the Party, the State and people and between domestic and external information, and associate international relations information and communications on sea, islands and the border in major national events.
"This is a good way to gain support of overseas Vietnamese and international friends and mobilize resources for national development and raising Vietnam’s international status.”
