Julianne Cowley, Australian Consul- General in Ho Chi Minh City, said, “There are 80,000 alumni of Australian education institutions with another 7,000 studying in Australian education institutions in Vietnam like RMIT and around 25,000 Vietnamese students studying in Australia every year. The Australian Government’s New Colombo Plan (NCP), which began in 2014, is supporting Australian undergraduate students to travel to and study in our region, expanding Australia’s people-to-people links with countries like Vietnam.” |
