Top Vietnamese legislator meets with Australian Governor-General
At the meeting, Hue expressed his wish for Hurley’s further support for
Vietnam-Australia relations.
He hoped the Governor-General and the Australian Government will continue
assisting Vietnamese expatriates in their integration process, preservation of
cultural identity, and contribution to the relationship between the two
countries.
Hue
congratulated Australia on its important achievements under the leadership of
the Governor-General, especially the successful federal elections in May 2022,
and the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic and complete opening of its doors.
The top legislator took the occasion to convey President Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s
invitation to the Australian leader to pay an official visit to Vietnam in 2023
when the two nations celebrate the 50th founding anniversary of diplomatic
relations.
Believing that Hue’s visit will make positive contributions to fostering the
Vietnam-Australia strategic partnership and the relationship between the
legislative bodies, Hurley said he wishes to visit Vietnam again.
The Governor-General said with increasing delegation exchanges at all levels,
the Australia-Vietnam bilateral ties are expanding and this is a favourable
time for the two countries to upgrade their relations to a new height.
Both host and guest expressed their delight at the growing strategic
partnership and agreed to coordinate in organising celebrations for the 50th
anniversary of diplomatic ties next year, particularly in delegation, culture,
and people-to-people exchanges./.
