With more than 30,000 Vietnamese students in Australia, educational cooperation not only contributes to the development of Vietnam’s human resources and Australian economy, but also contributes to the promotion of cultural ties and friendship between the two nations, he said.
Minister Jason Clare said he looked forward to a visit to Vietnam in 2023 to discuss cooperation in the education sector, especially in general and higher education, and student exchanges between the two countries.
He expressed his confidence in the great opportunities for cooperation in education and training between the two countries.
The two sides believe that the Vietnam-Australia Education Cooperation Forum on the occasion of the visit of the President of the Vietnamese National Assembly to Australia should further strengthen bilateral cooperation in education, especially higher education.
