Addressing the Association’s congress, Dang Thuy Chi, First Secretary of the Vietnamese Embassy in Australia and Education Counselor said the congress is a milestone for the steady growth of the Vietnamese student community in Australia, promoting the country's image, and preserving the national identity, beauty, and values. 

“In 2020, the establishment of the Vietnamese Students Association in Australia marks the systematic birth of Students Association. This was the 11th Vietnamese Student Association in the world, which aims to create favorable conditions for students from all over Australia to unite. Since then we have seen more organized activities and official direction from the Vietnamese Students Association and the Vietnamese representative agencies in Australia. The founding congress of the Vietnamese Students Association in Queensland today is an example,” Chi said.
