At the meeting in Hanoi, Sen. Lt. Gen. Vinh noted Vietnamese-Australian relations have enjoyed rapid and effective development in various spheres, including defence.
The two countries should intensify co-operation in training personnel, ensuring maritime security, fighting terrorism and sharing their experiences in United Nations peacekeeping forces, he said.
Sharing Vinh’s views on the expansion of defence ties, Dewar said Australia will continue deepening collaboration in this area with Vietnam while exchanging information on regional security.
