	Vice President to attend Global Summit of Women
	Australia helps Vietnam with agricultural development

This activity forms part of the official’s trip to Australia to attend the 28th Global Summit of Women. 

Vice President Thinh applauded contributions made by Vietnamese in Victoria to the development of Vietnam and Australia, as well as the friendship between the two countries. 

She said during meetings, Victoria leaders highly valued the overseas Vietnamese (OVs)’s contributions and pledged to create the best possible conditions for the OVs to integrate into the host society and preserve Vietnamese traditions.

Some OVs proposed the Vietnamese Party and the State build mechanisms that enable more than 4 million Vietnamese expatriates worldwide to directly engage in making resolutions of the Party and policies and laws of the State, especially investment and business policies. 

They also called for the early issuance of policies that allow OVs to participate in the National Assembly.

She highlighted the thriving economic, trade and investment ties between Vietnam and Australia, saying the upcoming implementation of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) to which both Vietnam and Australia are signatoriesis expected to contribute to enhancing bilateral cooperation in this field. 

The official used the occasion to brief the Australian businesses on Vietnam’s macro economy, and stressed that the two countries have substantial potential for cooperation in economy, trade and investment as their economies are reciprocal.
