During their stay in Australia, the Vietnamese officers had meetings with representatives from the National Emergency Management Agency at the Department of Home Affairs, Police of New South Wales and the New South Sales State Emergency Service, among others, and visited a prison in Sydney.

Their activities have opened up opportunities of cooperation in handling large-scale emergencies, ensuring traffic order and managing prisons, while contributing to deepening collaboration between the Vietnamese ministry and Australian law enforcement forces in different spheres like crime combat, immigrant management and the implementation of the agreement on the transfer of sentenced persons.

The outcomes of the visit have also helped deepen the Vietnam-Australia strategic partnership, creating an important foundation for the two countries to elevate their relations to a new height, especially in the context of the 50th anniversary of the bilateral diplomatic ties (February 26, 1973-2023), thus contributing to maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
