He also congratulated Australian candidate Natasha Stott Despoja on her re-election to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women.

The ambassador lauded the growing interest of both countries in gender aspects in priority agendas such as climate change, and bilateral cooperation areas.

For her part, Campbell noted her deep impressions during her Vietnam visit in May, with significant outcomes, especially her meetings with representatives of ministries, agencies, the private sector, and businesses where women hold leadership positions.

She expressed her desire to share Australia's experience in gender equality practices and international cooperation in this field with Vietnam.

Campbell believed that the Southeast Asian nation will continue affirming its role and making significant contributions to multinational-level cooperation in gender equality, contributing to raising collective voices on this issue.

On this occasion, the two officials exchanged views on emerging challenges related to gender equality.
