Goulburn welcomes old friends

The delegation arrives.

Goulburn Mulwaree Council hosted a Vietnamese Delegation in late September as part of an ongoing friendship agreement.

On 28 November 2019 the council and The People’s Committee of Buon Ma Thout City, Dak Lak Province, Vietnam established and formal friendship agreement.

The agreement between both cities encourages the promotion of cultural exchanges, consulting services and economic development opportunities.

The group spent a day in the region kicking off their tour with a Civic Reception in the Council Chambers.

The council then led the delegation on an excursion of Goulburn’s iconic and historical landmarks as well as visiting a local high school.

The purpose of the visit was to strengthen the relationship between the two regions as well as giving the Buon Ma Thout City the opportunity to view their state-of-the-art community infrastructure such as the Aquatic Centre and GPAC.

“We are delighted to have our friends from Buon Ma Thout City back in Goulburn to enjoy our hospitality so if see our friends enjoying our city please stop and say ‘Hello’ or ‘Xin Chao’,” Mayor Cr Peter Walker said.
