He expressed his wish to coordinate with the embassy to continue promoting important activities of NIC AU and expanding ties between the two countries in the areas related to sustainable development and technology.

For his part, Tam spoke highly of NIC AU’s networking efforts as well as Vu’s important role as its President for the past nearly four years.

He asked Vu as NIC AU President to remain a bridge linking NIC AU with Vietnamese people’s associations in Australia and support the community of Vietnamese students in the country./.
