HÀ NỘI — The Australian Government has granted 50 scholarships to Vietnamese students who are going to attend masters’ programmes at Australia’s educational institutions in 2020, announced the Australian Embassy in Việt Nam.

The 50 recipients are among over 6,000 Vietnamese students who have been presented with long-term and short-term training scholarships from the Australian Government since the two countries set up diplomatic relations in 1973.
