I am confident the coming years will see further growth in the already strong Australia-Vietnam relationship, built over 36 years of diplomatic relations. Recent visits by Vietnamese Prime Minister Mr Nguyen Tan Dung and Australian Foreign Minister Mr Stephen Smith underscore our extensive cooperation in many areas, including foreign affairs, regional security, trade, development, defence, environment, education, law enforcement and immigration. I, with my colleagues at the Australian Embassy in Hanoi and the Australian Consulate-General in Ho Chi Minh City, look forward to actively contributing to the growing closeness in this important relationship.
