She said the state’s government regards Vietnam as a potential and promising market to develop this new model in Australia.
Local authorities are coordinating with Vietnamese agencies and organisations to promote this programme in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in June this year, she added.
President and founder of the AVBC Laurence Strano said the programme aims to encourage Vietnamese enterprises to do business in New South Wales.
He cited two-way trade surged from 45 million USD in 1990 to 10 billion USD at present.
Bilateral trade is expected to double in the coming time, he said, adding that he hopes more Vietnamese businesses will make investment in Australia and vice versa.-VNA
