The Summit marks the 50th anniversary of ASEAN - Australia dialogue relations and will be followed by an official visit to Australia from March 5-9 at the invitation of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

At the Summit, with the theme “A Partnership for the Future”, Prime Minister Chinh, along with other ASEAN and Australian leaders, will outline visions, directions, and concrete measures to expand cooperation in the years to come.

In particular, Australia will propose new cooperative initiatives, which, if agreed upon, could lead to breakthroughs in bilateral relations and further bolster ASEAN - Australia relations.

During his visit to Australia, Prime Minister Chinh will engage in talks and meetings with senior Australian leaders. He will attend the Vietnam - Australia business forum, visit an exhibition showcasing investment projects in Vietnam, and hold working sessions with Australian business associations and major corporations. He is also set to tour various socio-economic and scientific research facilities and interact with Vietnamese and Australian intellectuals and experts.

The visit is expected to culminate in the signing and exchange of cooperative agreements in various fields, including education, energy, minerals, agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, science and technology, innovation, law, finance, and trade and investment.
