The Deputy PM spoke highly of the dialogue’s activities, saying they contribute to the Vietnam-Australia friendship and cooperation, especially since the bilateral relations were officially upgraded to a strategic partnership in 2018.

He also expressed his hope that the second Dialogue, slated for May 26-30 in Hanoi under the theme “Beyond 2019: creating a sustainable future together”, will be a success.

The Australia Vietnam Young Leadership Dialogue is a transnational non-profit initiative that was endorsed by the Australian government through the ASEAN-Australia Council and other partners.

The dialogue is designed to nurture relationships, promote engagement, and incubate collaboration between Australian and Vietnamese young leaders from a broad spectrum of society.
