Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese agreed to elevate their countries’ relations to a new level in the future during their talks in Hanoi on June 4 morning.
Since the establishment of diplomatic ties 50 years ago, Vietnam and Australia have built a strong and enduring relationship with diverse and increasing interests. In March 2018, the two countries officially upgraded ties to a Strategic Partnership, opening a new page in bilateral relations.
Vietnamese President Vo Van Thuong and Governor-General of Australia David Hurley expressed their delight at the practical and effective development of the strategic partnership between the two countries during their talks in Hanoi on April 4.
The state-level visit to Vietnam from April 3 to 6 by Governor-General of Australia David Hurley holds a lot of symbolic importance amid the 50th anniversary of the two countries’ diplomatic relations, said Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Andrew Goledzinowski.
