Since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1973, Vietnam and Australia have built strong and substantive relations on the basis of mutual respect and interest. The Vietnam-Australia Comprehensive Partnership, announced in 2009 and enhanced in 2015, underlines the concerted efforts of the governments and people of the two countries to advance bilateral relations. The two countries elevated their bilateral relationship to a strategic partnership in March 2018 during Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s official visit to Australia.
