By Sonia Arakkal and Huong Le Thu

As we approach 50 years of Australia-Vietnam relations, the countries’ bilateral relationship continues to deepen. Vietnam’s impressive growth trajectory and regional leadership present a valuable opportunity for Australia and Vietnam to strengthen their economic ties and contribute to wider economic resilience in the ASEAN region. Produced in collaboration with the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam and funded by the Australia-ASEAN Council, the Perth USAsia Centre’s latest report by Dr Huong Le Thu and Sonia Arakkal provides a detailed overview of Australia-Vietnam economic engagement, identifies areas for future growth, and provides policy recommendations for further integration.
