Australia is a popular destination for families in Da Nang sending their children to pursue undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Many students have completed their programs with positive results, providing a favorable foundation for further cooperation in education and human resource development.
Also at the reception, Deputy Secretary Ngo Xuan Thang expressed confidence that Ms. Katherine Grimmond’s experience and strong ties with Vietnam would help deepen cooperation between Da Nang and Australian partners on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.

She spoke highly of the city’s tourism potential, noting that its beautiful beaches were well suited to Australian travelers’ preferences for holidays and outdoor activities.
She also expressed hope that the establishment of direct air links between Da Nang and Australia in the coming period would facilitate travel, promote people-to-people exchanges and provide fresh impetus for growth in the Australian visitor market.
The Australian diplomat welcomed Da Nang’s plan to send a visiting delegation to Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast in the near future.
In reality, Da Nang and these Australian cities share similarities in their coastal tourism advantages, thereby creating opportunities to exchange experience and share approaches to sustainable development.
Ms. Katherine Grimmond expressed hope that the upcoming working visit by the Da Nang delegation would yield practical results, turn shared interests into concrete cooperation initiatives and further strengthen Vietnam - Australia relations.
