At the beginning of 2026, the Association coordinated with the Party Committee, government of Binh Minh commune (Hanoi) and media agencies to organize the Binh Da Festival, a national intangible cultural heritage of Hanoi, where the Noi Temple worships Duc Quoc To Lac Long Quan, to attract tourists and our compatriots abroad, encourage national pride, awareness of turning to the roots, and attachment to the homeland and country of our compatriots abroad. At the request of the National University of Saint Petersburg (Russia), the Association mobilized sponsorship, crafted and transported the statue of Uncle Ho to place it on the campus on May 19, 2026.
Promoting the role of a member organization of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, the Liaison Association with Overseas Vietnamese also actively participates in monitoring and criticizing the implementation and building of laws, especially laws related to the rights and responsibilities of overseas Vietnamese.
In the Conferences of the Presidium and the Central Committee, the Advisory Council on Foreign Affairs and Overseas Vietnamese of the Fatherland Front, in the Forums organized by the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs and the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Assembly, the Association has proposed to promote consideration of granting citizenship to Vietnamese people who have become citizens of other countries but have not yet revoked Vietnamese citizenship, except for those who go against the interests of the country, harm national security in accordance with the spirit of the 2008 Law on Citizenship, proposing to amend a number of articles of the 2008 Law on Citizenship to allow those who have revoked Vietnamese citizenship to become citizens of other countries to now return to Vietnamese citizenship because the host country has changed the law, allowing multi-nationality; proposing to amend the Land Law, Housing Law, Real Estate Business Law, and Inheritance Law in the direction that our compatriots abroad have rights and responsibilities similar to domestic citizens.
