Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has suggested Vietnam and Australia
work harder to lift their bilateral ties to a new height while meeting
with Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives Anna Burke in
Hanoi on May 22.

In addition, the two countries also need to further strengthen cooperation in education and training, science and technology, culture, security and defence, he added.
The PM suggested the two sides increase mutual support at regional and international forums and Australia support the standpoints of Vietnam and ASEAN on peace, stability, maritime safety and security in the East Sea, as well as the peaceful settlement of disputes in the East Sea on the basis of international law.
