Project Description

The Australia-Vietnam Young Leadership Dialogue (AVYLD) is an independent non-profit initiative that nurture relationships, promote engagement and incubate collaboration between Australian and Vietnamese young leaders. Through people to people links, we believe the bilateral relationship between Australia and Vietnam can be strengthened to contribute to the development of each respective nation.

The first dialogue will be held in Sydney in May 2017, involving up to 30 delegates from Australia and Vietnam along with various speakers and partners from diverse sectors including business, education, policy, non-for-profit and the arts.
