Referring to educational cooperation, the Ambassador said that there is still much room to promote cooperation. During his upcoming visit, the Prime Minister will attend an education roundtable in Canberra, attracting the participation of all major Australian universities.
The fourth area is energy transition and response to climate change. In 2023, Prime Minister Albanese announced a $105 million support package in cooperation with Vietnam to help accelerate this important transition.
In 2023, on the occasion of Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s visit to Vietnam, Australia also announced an additional amount of money worth 95 million USD to enhance climate adaptation in the Mekong River region.
In addition, Mr. Andrew Goledzinowski said the two countries are promoting cooperation in the fields of knowledge sharing, innovation and science.
In addition to the key areas, the Ambassador commented that the two sides still have much room for cooperation in areas such as green transformation and emission reduction.
Australia highly appreciates the role of ASEAN
Mentioning the importance of the Special Summit commemorating 50 years of ASEAN-Australia relations, Ambassador Andrew Goledzinowski emphasized the desire to strengthen economic cooperation with ASEAN.
According to him, ASEAN is currently Australia’s second largest important trading partner, even larger than South Korea, Japan and the US.
This conference will make a number of important announcements on economic cooperation. There are also a number of important side events taking place in Melbourne around the clean energy transition, maritime cooperation and leadership.
The Ambassador affirmed that Australia highly appreciates ASEAN because ASEAN always plays a role in maintaining stability and dialogue in the context of many changes in the region and the world.
