Viet Nam attaches great importance to its relationship with Australia and regards defence cooperation as a key pillar of bilateral ties, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence General Phan Van Giang at a reception for Australian Ambassador to Viet Nam Gillian Bird in Ha Noi on July 29.

The Viet Nam – Australia financial policy dialogue is taking place in Ha Noi on November 27–28 as part of the action plan for implementing the memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance and the Australian Treasury for the 2024–2028 period.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien stressed that the ministerial-level cooperation mechanisms between the two countries, including the ministerial-level dialogue on trade and the one on energy and minerals, play an important role in promoting multifaceted collaboration.
