Addressing the event on February 16, Suzanne Gilham, a senior official from the NSW Department of Industry, introduced the Australian business visa program in 2017, which offers many incentives for entrepreneurs and investors from China, Malaysia and Vietnam.

She said the state’s government regards Vietnam as a potential and promising market to develop this new model in Australia.

Local authorities are coordinating with Vietnamese agencies and organizations to promote this program in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in June this year, she added.

President and founder of the AVBC Laurence Strano said the program aims to encourage Vietnamese enterprises to do business in New South Wales.

He cited two-way trade surged from USD 45 million in 1990 to USD 10 billion at present.

Bilateral trade is expected to double in the coming time, he said, adding that he hopes more Vietnamese businesses will make investment in Australia and vice versa.
