He suggested the Australian side increase its support for transport units in Vietnam in terms of human resources training.

Mudie, who will soon end her second tenure in Vietnam, said she is proud of breakthrough outcomes of the bilateral transport collaboration projects, including those on transport connection among northern and Central Highlands provinces.

Australia has funded and mobilized more than 500 million USD from multilateral banks for these programs, she said.

The diplomat wished the embassy and the ministry would cooperate more closely in transport infrastructure investment, logistics, environment, and personnel training, among other fields.

She affirmed Australia is committed to further supporting Vietnam.
