Viet Nam Australia Development Cooperation Strategy 2003–2007
Australia has national interest and humanitarian reasons for providing aid to Viet Nam. Its centrality in the region means that a stable and growing Viet Nam will be good for regional cooperation, security, trade
and prosperity. The prospects for poverty reduction are good. Australia has a valuable contribution to make by building on the
successes and lessons learned from the past 10 years of bilateral development cooperation.
