Visiting Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has told his Australian hosts that Vietnam hopes for further cooperation with Australia and supports the Australasian country’s increased role in the Asia Pacific region.
PM Dung made that statement during his speech before scholars and researchers at the Lowy Institute for International Policy, one of the top 30 global think tanks, in Sydney on Tuesday, according to the Vietnam News Agency.
From a war-torn nation, Vietnam has become a middle-income developing country with diplomatic relations with 185 countries and membership in more than 70 international organizations, the agency quoted the premier as saying.
