However, now the world has changed, so is Viet Nam’s position in the world context, especially when the Strategy on strengthening economic cooperation between Viet Nam and Australia has been announced by the two governments in 2021. In that inevitable trend, in the past 10 years, North Australia became a land of many strategic space and advantages for Vietnamese businesses.

Coming back home to invest in 1992, businessman Nguyen Ngoc My spends a lot of time and efforts on connecting trade, business cooperation and investment development between Viet Nam and Australia in general and Northern Australia in particular. In 2003, he pioneered in pushing on importing North Australia’s cow to Viet Nam.

According to Nguyen Ngoc My, North Australia is lack of human resources and has a huge demand in construction materials to develop economic infrastructure, while this is Viet Nam’s great competitive advantage. To promote economic to grow rapidly, Northern Territory Government of Australia needs to be bold and open in raising the population development target from the current 1.4% to double – triple or quadruple (500 thousand – 1 million people) in the next ten years. And this is completely feasible with active contributions and cooperation from Viet Nam and Australia.
