At the gathering, Vietnamese Ambassador to Algeria and Senegal Tran Quoc Khanh shared that approximately 3,000 Vietnamese and people of Vietnamese origin are currently living and working in Senegal. Although the community is not large in number, it remains closely united, cohesive, and oriented towards the homeland. The meeting of National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man, his spouse, and the delegation with the overseas Vietnamese immediately upon arrival in Senegal demonstrates the deep concern of the Party and the State for the Vietnamese community abroad. It also serves as a significant source of encouragement for the overseas community and the embassy staff.
In his remarks, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man conveyed heartfelt greetings and best wishes from General Secretary To Lam, State President Luong Cuong, and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh to the Vietnamese community in Senegal. He noted that the visit was made at the invitation of President of the National Assembly of Senegal Malick Ndiaye and holds great significance in reinforcing political trust and promoting cooperation between the two countries across various fields.
During the visit, Chairman Tran Thanh Man is expected to hold talks with the President of the Senegalese National Assembly, pay courtesy calls on the President and Prime Minister of Senegal, and co-chair a legal and policy dialogue to advance cooperation in agriculture, trade, and investment. On this occasion, the National Assemblies of the two countries will sign a Cooperation Agreement, establishing a legal framework for strengthening the relationship between the two legislative bodies and contributing to deepening the bilateral ties between Vietnam and Senegal.

National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man provided updates on the country’s development and emphasized that the Party and State always regard the Vietnamese community in Senegal as an inseparable part of the nation. Commending the bridging role of the Organization of Senegalese people of Vietnamese origin (Kim Hoi), he called on the organization to continue serving as a channel for information exchange between the homeland and the community, particularly in promoting the spirit of innovation and efficiency in state governance, and in inspiring a shared aspiration for national progress in the new era. He also encouraged Kim Hoi to actively promote the image of Vietnam and its people to international friends, including the people of Senegal.
The National Assembly Chairman also requested that staff of the Vietnamese Embassy in Senegal enhance support for the Vietnamese community, especially in terms of providing policy information, facilitating the teaching and learning of the Vietnamese language, and establishing connections with ministries and sectors in Vietnam to improve the living, learning, and working conditions of overseas Vietnamese in Senegal.
Expressing hope that the community will continue to overcome difficulties and stabilize their lives, Chairman Tran Thanh Man hopes that the Senegalese government will continue supporting the Vietnamese community in successful integration and contributing positively to Senegal’s development, thereby deepening the Vietnam-Senegal friendship.
