He vowed to effectively realize the outcomes achieved during the Australia visit by National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue from November 30-December 3, 2022 and actively contribute to the development of the recently-established comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries, thus deepening cooperation in areas of shared concern such as politics, economy, national defense-security, education, tourism, and people-to-people exchange.

Lines, for her part, believed that bilateral ties will develop comprehensively and deeply, including through parliamentary diplomacy and people-to-people exchange. She also expected breakthroughs in collaboration in economy, trade, sci-tech, climate change response and energy transition.

Expressing delight at the official launch of a direct flight service between Hanoi and Perth - the capital city of Western Australia, her hometown, she wished to pay an official visit to Vietnam via this route soon, with an aim to further bolster the friendship and cooperation between the two countries, as well as between Perth and Vietnamese localities.

She also pledged her support to the diplomat in expanding bilateral ties throughout his tenure.
