Vietnam Deepens Relations with Australia and New Zealand

The State visit by General Secretary and President To Lam to Australia and New Zealand from August 9-14 marked a significant shift in Vietnam's foreign policy, moving from expanding relations to deepening them.

Vietnam has established Comprehensive Strategic Partnerships with both countries, but the focus now is on transforming political trust into concrete projects and turning international standing into resources for development.

Australia and New Zealand offer valuable strengths in education, science and technology, energy, minerals, green economy, modern governance, and innovation, aligning with Vietnam's future growth model transformation requirements.

The visit aimed to deepen relations and transform diplomatic achievements into tangible benefits for the people and businesses, as emphasized by General Secretary and President To Lam.
