The Vietnam-Australia relations continue to grow strongly across fields, reaping great successes in the past five decades, as the two countries have built strategic trust based on mutual respect and common interests, said Prof. Carl Thayer, an expert on Vietnamese studies from the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
A visiting Vietnamese delegation, led by Deputy Minister of National Defence Sen. Lieut. Gen. Le Chiem, had a working session with Australia’s UNSW Canberra on September 10 to receive a digitalised project on battlefields and burial sites of fallen Vietnamese soldiers during the war in Vietnam.
A group of Australian veterans on September 10 handed over a database to Vietnam to help locate the remains of about 200,000 Vietnamese soldiers of both front lines who are still missing.
Carlyle A. Thayer- Emeritus Professor, the University of New South Wales, has a article on the Vietnam-Australia ties on the occasion of the official visit to Australia by PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc from March 14-18.
