2019 DIALOGUE

The Dialogue

The Dialogue program spanned four days and was located in Vietnam. It began in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam and continued to the dynamic business hub of Ho Chi Minh City. The program built on the work of the 2017 Dialogue by looking beyond 2019 towards a sustainable future.


The guiding framework for the program was five of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Gender Equality, Reduced Inequalities, Quality Education, Climate Action, Sustainable Cities and Communities. These goals continue to be highly relevant to both Australia and Vietnam. Each day, the program was organised around a theme that works within the framework.

  • Leading with courage

  • Governance in a globalised world 

  • Diplomacy and the rising importance of soft power
