10. Summary of the thesis results:
This thesis has researched and clarified three main points: the basis for the formation of Vietnam-Australia educational cooperation; Vietnam-Australia educational cooperation at various levels from 1998 to the present; and an assessment of Vietnam-Australia relations in the field of education. Through this, it systematizes the educational cooperation between Vietnam and Australia from 1998 to the present and offers recommendations to further promote the development of educational relations between the two countries.
Today, alongside "official diplomatic" activities, cultural, educational, and social exchanges also play a crucial role in our country's foreign relations. In particular, cooperation in the field of education has greatly contributed to improving the general knowledge of the population, enhancing the quality of human resources, and thereby promoting the socio-economic development of the nation.
Among Vietnam's educational cooperation relationships with foreign countries, the relationship between Vietnam and Australia is particularly well-developed. Australia has numerous large-scale cooperation and aid programs for Vietnamese education. Educational relations are one of the earliest established channels of "diplomacy" and are of great interest to both countries. However, it wasn't until 1998 that this relationship truly flourished, marked by the establishment of RMIT University Vietnam, the first international university approved by the Vietnamese government, founded by a prestigious Australian educational institution. Since then, educational relations between the two countries have continuously developed at both the state and non-state levels. These educational cooperation activities have contributed to enhancing mutual understanding, improving the quality of Vietnam's human resources, making education a significant revenue-generating service for Australia, and forming the foundation for multi-sectoral cooperation between the two nations.
However, it is evident that the relationship between the two countries in the field of education still has some limitations, and the potential for strengthening educational relations between the two countries in particular, as well as bilateral relations in general, remains very large. Investment projects from Australia in Vietnam's education sector have not yet achieved the desired results. Vietnam also needs to pay more attention to strengthening the legal framework for investment/aid in education to create a foundation for educational cooperation activities to develop in the right direction.
Educational cooperation between Vietnam and Australia is a topic that has received little research attention. The author hopes that the information compiled and presented systematically, along with the assessments in this thesis, will be valuable for reference and research for those interested in educational cooperation in general and between Vietnam and Australia in particular.
11. Practical applications:
All the research findings of this thesis are immediately applicable in practice. The relationship between Vietnam and Australia is presented comprehensively and systematically, providing a basis for in-depth research on solutions and policies to promote educational cooperation between the two countries. Furthermore, the assessments and recommendations presented in this thesis are the result of research and practical surveys, and can be immediately applied to improve educational relations between the two countries in particular, and to improve the quality of educational cooperation in general.
12. Future research directions:
The author of this thesis assesses the educational cooperation between Vietnam and Australia from the perspective of an international relations researcher. The thesis does not have the opportunity to delve deeply into specialized educational issues to propose solutions to enhance the effectiveness of educational cooperation between the two countries from this viewpoint.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
Three contents were researched and clarified in this thesis: Basis of Cooperation in Education between Vietnam and Australia; Vietnam - Australia education cooperation on levels from 1998 to present; assess the relationship between Vietnam and Australia in the field of education. Thereby, the thesis 'author systematized education cooperation between Vietnam and Australia from 1998 to present and made recommendations to promote bilateral education cooperation.
Nowadays, besides "mainstream diplomatic" activities, exchanges of culture, education and society also play an important role in our country's foreign affairs. Especially the cooperation in the field of education has greatly contributed to improve the quality of human resources, thereby contributing to boost Vietnamese economy and society.
The education cooperation between Vietnam and Australia is well developed. Many education cooperation and aid programs at large scale came from Australia. Education relationship was one of the oldest "diplomatic" channels to be set and to be interested by both countries. However, not until 1998, this relation has really been developed with the emergence of RMIT University Vietnam, the very first international university to be approved by Vietnamese government which was established by RMIT Australia. Since then, education relations between the two countries is continuously developing on the state as well as non state levels. Education cooperation has contributed to increase understanding between the two countries, improve the quality of Vietnamese human resources, and bring huge revenue to Australia and to be the basis of cooperation in other fields.
However, this relationship still remains some limitations and the potential to promote relations in the field of education in particular, as well as bilateral relations in general is very large. The Australian educational investment projects for Vietnam have not achieved desired results. Vietnam also needs to pay more attention to strengthen the legal system on investment/ aid to education to create the basis for cooperative educational activities to be developed in the right direction.
Educational partnerships between Vietnam and Australia is a neglected topic of research, the authors hope that the information was arranged and presented in a systematic way together with the evaluation in this thesis will be a valuable reference for those who are interested in the issue of education cooperation in general and education cooperation between Vietnam and Australia in particular.
12. Practical applicability, if any:
The relationship between Vietnam and Australia is shown thoroughly and scientifically, as a basis for in-depth research on solutions and policies to promote education cooperation between the two countries.

13. Further research directions, if any:

This thesis has not been conducted in depth assessment of the educational expertise issues to propose solutions that help improve the efficiency of educational cooperation between the two countries from this perspective. So it is needed to have the further researches on the above contents.
