Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Robyn Mudie (Photo: VNA) Reporter: After two years working in Vietnam, how do you feel about the country and people here? What plans do you have for the 2022 Lunar New Year? Ambassador Robyn Mudie: I’ve been the Ambassador here since July 2019, but this is my second time in Hanoi and at the Embassy - I was also here in the mid-90s as a junior diplomat.

This determination is also reflected in the Vietnamese people, whose warmth and resilience, even in the face of adversity, is heartening and welcoming. I was also delighted to be able to return to discover more of this fascinating country. It has so many layers of beauty and culture to uncover. I haven’t travelled as much as I would have liked due to the COVID-19 restrictio
