His Excellency, Mr Bill Tweddell, Australian Ambassador to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam |
Welcome to the Australian Embassy website. The Embassy in Hanoi and Consulate-General in Ho Chi Minh City try to ensure that this site is a useful and informative resource for both Australians and Vietnamese about Australia’s wide-ranging interests in Vietnam.
2008 marks the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Australia and Vietnam. Through the 35 years our two countries have developed a long-term friendship, continuing a commitment that we made when diplomatic relations were established on 26 February 1973.
The relationship between Australia and Vietnam is substantial and built on mutual trust. Both countries have significant interests which intersect across a diverse range of areas. These include trade and investment, development cooperation, immigration, education and training, science and technology, agriculture, defence, law enforcement, tourism, sport, culture and the arts, and people-to-people links.
The breadth of our shared interests provides extensive scope for cooperation to the benefit of both Australia and Vietnam.
I hope this website further promotes and enhances understanding between the people of our two countries.
I would be grateful for any comments or suggestions you might wish to make about this website and the information it contains.
Bill Tweddell
Ambassador
