Consul General Hoang Minh Son reviewed Vietnam’s historic landmarks and great achievements since President Ho Chi Minh read the Vietnamese Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945. Mr. Son said Vietnam continues to be a friend and a reliable partner of other countries and a responsible member of the world community, which was clearly seen in its effort to build the ASEAN Community in late 2015. Consul General said Vietnam - Australia relations have progressed in politics, economics, trade, science, education, technology, security, defense, aid, and people-to-people exchanges. Mr. Son said Vietnam-Australia relations which have developed from the comprehensive partnership they formed in 2009, will contribute to the peace, stability, and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region and the world.
