Canberra, Aug. 12 -- Vietnamese Minister of Industry and Trade Le Manh Hung and Australian Minister for Trade and Tourism Don Farrell discussed measures to boost trade and investment ties between the two countries during a meeting in Canberra on August 12.

The meeting was held as Hung accompanied General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee and President To Lam during his state visit to Australia.

The two ministers spoke highly of the Vietnam-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership upgraded in 2024, and the effective operation of the Trade Ministers' Dialogue mechanism, which, they said provides a solid foundation for more substantive and comprehensive economic and trade cooperation.
