At her meeting with Vietnamese Ambassador to Australia Pham Hung Tam, Sandercock applauded the two countries' recent upgrade of bilateral relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership, describing this as a foundation for them to continue enhancing cooperation in education - training.
Australia will consider the cooperation with Vietnam in training human resources in such new fields as semiconductor manufacturing, digital transformation, and clean energy transition, to help guarantee supply chains and serve the Southeast Asian country’s socio-economic development and environmental protection, she remarked.
For his part, Ambassador Tam thanked Australian agencies, including its Education Department, for supporting the Vietnamese Embassy during Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's official visit to Australia in early March.
He spoke highly the progress in educational cooperation as seen in the more than 32,000 Vietnamese students in Australia, which makes Vietnam the 6th largest source of foreign students here.
Tam called on the Australian side to continue creating favourable conditions for Vietnamese students and discuss measures for further strengthening educational and training ties, especially in new fields like semiconductor manufacturing, digital transformation, and clean energy transition.
