Vietnamese Ambassador to Australia Pham Hung Tam hosted a meeting with visiting President of the Australia-Vietnam Friendship Society (AVFS) Kim Sampson in Canberra on July 31.
At the event, Sampson expressed his wish to collaborate with the embassy to enhance cooperation and connectivity between the two sides, as well as between the AVFS and various associations of Vietnamese in Australia.
The society has already forged a sound collaboration with the Vietnamese Business Association in Australia, he said, adding that it is interested in reaching out to other Vietnamese groups to broaden its network, thereby fostering greater understanding and exchange between the two nations, he said.
Sampson revealed the intention to revive a general practitioner exchange programme between Vietnam and Australia. This initiative aims to enhance linkages and share expertise in primary healthcare at local and rural medical facilities, with the AVFS set to welcome two Vietnamese doctors to Adelaide in October as part of the programme.
Praising the society's efforts in and Sampson's significant contributions to fostering bilateral connections, the ambassador expressed his belief that the AVFS would continue to introduce positive initiatives to step up mutual understanding between the two nations.
Tam also emphasised the importance of building on the countries’ strong and trusted cooperation, and urged the society to actively implement the memorandum of understanding (MoU) it has signed with the Vietnam-Australia Friendship Association, expand its member network to support Vietnam-Australia relations, and promote understanding and experience sharing between the two sides./.
