PM Chính praised Australia as 'sincere friend, reliable partner' in relations with ASEAN
Vietnamese PM appreciated Australia’s continued strong support for ASEAN’s common stance on the East Sea (known internationally as the South China Sea), resolving disputes peacefully, and efforts to finalise an effective, substantive Code of Conduct (COC), in accordance with international law, particularly the 1982 UNCLOS, contributing to turning the East Sea into a sea of peace, stability, cooperation, and sustainable development.
