SYDNEY – A delegation from the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee, headed by Vice Chairman Hoàng Công Thúy, visited the Vietnamese Embassy in Australia on June 14 as part of their working trip to the country.

Expressing his pleasure at new developments in Vietnam-Australia relations, Thuy anticipated that the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership would achieve many positive outcomes in the time to come, particularly in people-to-people exchange.

He commended the embassy's efforts in community development and acknowledged efforts from patriotic Vietnamese individuals and organisations in Australia to support their community and strengthen their connections with the homeland.

The official said he is impressed by contributions of Vietnamese businesses, intellectuals, and students to Vietnam as well as to the two nations’ ties.

For his part, Ambassador Pham Hung Tam informed the delegation of bilateral cooperation achievements following Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's official visit to Australia in March this year.

He highlighted the important contributions of Vietnamese associations, especially those grouping businesspersons, intellectuals, and students, to the bilateral relationship and to the embassy's community work. — VNS
