HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính and President Nguyễn Xuân Phúc on Monday (June 27) received Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong, who has been on a three-day official visit to Vietnam.

Praising Australia’s successes in the federal election, Covid-19 vaccination and economic recovery, Chính thanked the nation for its provision of Covid-19 vaccines, medical equipment and supplies for Vietnam during the fight against the pandemic, particularly 14.4 million doses of vaccine for Vietnamese children.

PM Chính proposed Australia maintain its official development assistance for Vietnam in agricultural and rural development, poverty eradication, high-quality human resource development, start-ups and innovation, and strategic infrastructure, especially in the Mekong Delta. The minister commended Vietnam’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and said she would work closely with Vietnam in this area.

On this occasion, PM Chính asked the minister to convey his invitation to Australian PM Anthony Albanese to pay an official visit to Vietnam at an appropriate time. Briefing the guest on Vietnam’s achievements in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic and switching to a new period of safely and flexibly adapting to and effectively controlling the pandemic, President Phúc thanked Australia for promptly providing Vietnam with Covid-19 vaccines, especially the vaccines for children from 5-11 years old.

For her part, Wong said she was delighted to visit Vietnam for the first time in her capacity as the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and affirmed that Australia highly valued the role and position of Vietnam in the region, and was committed to continuing to bolster the strategic partnership with Vietnam.
