越南党和国家最高领导人陶玉梅率领高级代表团访问澳大利亚和新西兰[1]。这是越共总书记自2009年以来首次对两国进行正式访问[1]。越南已采纳新政策，将海外越南人视为促进国家发展的战略资源[1]。
访问期间将涉及广泛的合作领域。双方计划就教育、农业、卫生、技术、防务等多个领域签署合作协议，同时讨论南中国海海洋安全问题[1]。澳大利亚和新西兰最近将与越南的关系升级为全面战略伙伴关系[1]，两国并在2024年10月举行了首次部长级安全对话[1]。
越南对这一地区的侨民社群寄予厚望。澳大利亚约有35万人具有越南血统、35000名越南学生[1]，新西兰则约有14000名越南人[1]。越南的长远发展目标是在2045年成为高收入国家，到2130年成为高度发达的社会主义国家[1]。
Vietnam's top Communist Party leader has undertaken the first high-level visit to Australia and New Zealand by a General Secretary since 2009, signaling Hanoi's strategic pivot toward mobilizing its overseas communities for national development.[1] The delegation is expected to negotiate cooperation agreements spanning education, agriculture, health, technology, and defense, while also addressing maritime security concerns in the South China Sea.[1]
Vietnam has recently adopted a policy framework that designates its diaspora as a strategic national resource to support state development objectives.[1] This approach targets Vietnam's ambitious goals of becoming a high-income country by 2045 and achieving advanced socialist development status by 2130.[1] The policy gains relevance given the substantial Vietnamese populations in both nations: Australia hosts approximately 350,000 people of Vietnamese descent and 35,000 Vietnamese students, while New Zealand is home to around 14,000 Vietnamese residents.[1]
The engagement occurs as both Australia and New Zealand have recently elevated their relationships with Vietnam to comprehensive strategic partnerships.[1] In October 2024, Australia and Vietnam held their inaugural ministerial-level security dialogue in Canberra, reflecting deepening security cooperation in the region.[1]
