Outgoing Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Andrew Goledzinowski affirmed Australia's strong support for directions currently pursued by Vietnam when he bid farewell to National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man in Hanoi on the afternoon of December 26.

The top legislator commended the diplomat’s significant contributions and efforts in strengthening the bilateral relations, including facilitating high-level visits and advancing the elevation of ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

Man stressed that Vietnam always considers Australia one of its top partners in its diplomatic strategy. With their new relationship status, he expressed his confidence that both nations have necessary conditions to strive for 20 billion USD in bilateral trade turnover next year.

For his part, Goledzinowski praised the NA for approving laws that support sustainable development and environmental protection, create a favourable legal framework for economic growth, and enhance economic cooperation between the two countries.

The ambassador also acknowledged the vision of Vietnam's leadership, suggesting that both nations could adjust development cooperation programmes to align with Vietnam’s initiatives, and expand trade collaboration to assist Vietnam in its transition process.

On this occasion, the NA leader expressed his gratitude to Australian leaders and the diplomat for supporting Vietnam’s efforts to promote economic growth, maintain macroeconomic stability, control inflation, and ensure social welfare for its citizens. He also extended his thanks to Australian leaders, agencies and localities for their care and assistance for the Vietnamese community in Australia, enabling them to integrate well and serve as a bridge between the two nations.

Man stated that Vietnam spares no effort to resolving socio-economic development challenges to attract foreign investment. He expressed his hope that Goledzinowski will continue making contributions to the bilateral relations, particularly in economy, trade, tourism, culture, and energy./.
