(VOVWORLD) -A ceremony was held at the Temple of Literature in Hanoi on Wednesday to launch programs to mark 45 years of Vietnam-Australia diplomatic relations.
Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Craig Chittick said Vietnam is one of the most important partners of Australia in the Indo-Pacific region. He added that the two countries have built strong cooperative ties over the last 45 years and relations are developing in various fields, including politics, the economy, education, tourism, law, and communications.
At the ceremony, the official logo of the 45th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties made its debut. It is the combination of Australia’s Sydney Opera House and the five-pointed star on Vietnam’s national flag. Ambassador Chittick also presented 9 information boards introducing the Temple of Literature to the relic site.
