At the opening ceremony, Consul General to Perth Le Viet Duyen highlighted remarkable progress in bilateral relations over the past 41 years in all fields, ranging from economics, politics, education, science and technology to security and defence, especially when the two countries established a comprehensive partnership in 2009.
Duyen said the celebration and cultural exhibition in Narrogin is one of activities to promote culture, mutual understanding and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.

He also said that China’s illegal placement of drilling rig Haiyang Shiyou-981 in Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf has violated international law, causing concern in the world and threatening peace, security and stability in the region.
Narrogin Mayor Leigh Ballard expressed his hope that the city will set up a twin relationship with Vietnamese city to bolster future multifaceted cooperation between the two localities.
The exhibition running until May 31 gives visitors a chance to watch temporary paintings, calligraphies, traditional ceramic products and water puppets and enjoyed Vietnam’s traditional cuisines.
