WAVBC Awards & Market Updates
The WAVBC committee are pleased to conduct its last main event for 2026 at the Duxton Hotel, Perth
The evening has very special significance for the WAVBC as it will be the first time since the start of the WAVBC in 2014 that any committee members have received any formal recognition.
Life Membership Awards will be presented to Hugh & Van Collin in recognition of the support they have provided WAVBC members/friends and the local Vietnamese Community over the last twelve years.
An Honorary President award will be presented to retiring President David Morgan in recognition of his eleven years as President of the WAVBC. Over the years, David has been instrumental in establishing the WAVBC as one of Australia’s well-respected Asian Business Organisations, promoted Western Australia to many Vietnamese local governments and business organisations and also connected many Western Australian and Vietnamese SMA’s via his extensive Viet Nam business networks.
The awards will be presented by Mr Pham Hai Anh – Consulate General of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Our opening presentation partners for the evening, will be Vietnam Airlines and Perth Airport who will provide updates of their current Western Australia / Viet Nam related activities – we will also welcome Ms Emily Nguyen from Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA (CCIWA) who will provide an updated overview of the current FTA’s in place between Australia and Viet Nam and CNC Vietnam will make a short presentation of the challenges exporting to Australia.
