Hague Manning recently assumed the role of New Zealand ambassador to Vietnam,

arriving in Hanoi in October 2012.

Haig joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in 1996

and has been posted previously as New Zealand Deputy High Commissioner in India from 1999 to 2002

and Deputy Head of Mission in Brazil from 2004 to 2008.

Haig's career focus in recent years has been on trade policy

and trade negotiations his most recent role was as deputy director in ministry's trade negotiations division

which involved senior new zealand negotiating roles in both the wto

and trans-pacific partnership negotiations hello you're watching

shang vih nam on vtt 10 netviet I'm Van Hiop

and in today's program we'll meet one special guest from New Zealand

and now may I introduce to you his excellency Mr. New Zealand ambassador to Vietnam

so hello Mr. Ambassador

and thank you very much for joining us today the Tet holiday has just gone

so how did you enjoy the Tet holiday in Vietnam?

Tet's a great time of the year we all get a great holiday and there are some fantastic traditions here in Vietnam.

So we stayed in Hanoi and it was a beautifully quiet time,

not as much traffic on the streets as normal.

We follow some of the traditions

that I think Vietnamese also follow with the Hwa Dao and the Kum Khoa trees in our house,

Lucky Money and also we went to the pagodas and the temples during Tate as well.

There really is nothing else like it I think anywhere else

in the world with the possible exception of some of the Vietnamese communities

which are living in other countries such as New Zealand

and there I know the many Vietnamese students that are living

and studying in New Zealand also do their versions of of TET

and no doubt have had a great TET in New Zealand as well

TET is the time that we revealed the past year

and we know that Vietnam and New Zealand have established a bilateral comprehensive partnership since 2009

and an action plan for 2010-2013 containing specific initiatives to help implement the partnership was signed in July 2010

so may May you share the results of the 2010-2013 action plan?

Vietnam and New Zealand have become very good friends and very good partners over that time.

And I think we're going to see a strengthening of that in the coming years as well.

We've seen a lot of political, high-level political engagement.

So visitors from Vietnam to New Zealand and also from New Zealand to Vietnam during that time and that's really,

really important because that connection between our leaders is what really drives,

I think, the relationship and inspires the relationship, if you like.

In terms of specific things that have been done,

obviously we've built quite significantly the trade during that time between our two countries.

We've had really good developments in the education relationship.

But not only that, we've also agreed some important government agreements with Vietnam,

such as the Working Holiday Scheme,

which is a scheme that enables young Vietnamese to go down

and live and work and holiday in New Zealand for up to 12 months,

and likewise permits New Zealanders to come up to Vietnam and to do the same.

And also we negotiated and have concluded a double taxation agreement during that time,

and that's really important to help reduce the costs of our businesses working together for the benefit of both countries.

So what about the second phase of the action plan 2013 and 2016?

What's new about this new partnership

that we've agreed this new action plan is there is much more of a focus on five key strategic sectors

which are agriculture, education, tourism,

aviation and clean technologies and environmental management.

And I think with a real focus and agreeing some roadmaps for action in those areas,

we're going to see a real growth in the trade and economic relationship.

But of course it's not just about the trade and economic relationship.

We have a broad-based relationship with Vietnam.

So there's a whole lot of things that we're doing as part of this new action plan,

and I'm really happy to be here to spearhead that for New Zealand.

So among the five key sectors,

the trade and investment cooperation is considered one priority in Vietnam and New Zealand bilateral relations.

And the two nations aim to increase the two trade way

from 600 million US dollars in 2012 to 1 billion US dollars by 2015.

So how feasible is this target and what have Vietnam and New Zealand agree to achieve this goal?

I'm very confident that we will hit the US$1 billion target by 2015.

One way in

which we're going to do this is by focusing in a more targeted way on those five key areas that I outlined.

Those are areas where we have real opportunities,

real benefits in working together,

so that's going to be my focus for really lifting the trade and economic relationship to meet that target.

But we're already doing very well.

We have seen, for example,

that Vietnam has entered New Zealand's top 20 export markets for the first time ever last year,

and we're also seeing really good growth in Vietnamese exports to New Zealand.

And I think it's really good for the relationship to have a good balance in the trades.

The other thing I think that's really important

and that's going to drive the economic relationship

and the trade relationship between our two countries is the conclusion of the Trans-Pacific partnership, TPP.

TPP is obviously is a really really important trade

and economic agreement for the region and I think as we see New Zealand

and Vietnam concluding that agreement together it's going to really lift the awareness of New Zealand

and Vietnam and Vietnam and New Zealand and I think that's going to drive much more business interest between our two countries.

Vietnam and New Zealand established the diplomatic relations on June 16, 1975.

The bilateral relations now features regular high-level political visits,

expanding trade and investment links,

ongoing development assistance, and expanding cooperation in newer areas such as science and technology,

two-way investment, education links, and trade-in services.

In September 2009, the two countries established the bilateral comprehensive partnership.

Bilateral trade has borne significantly since Vietnam and New Zealand signed a trade agreement in July 1994.

Both countries are now also amongst the nine countries negotiating a new trans-positive partnership free trade agreement.

Toto Two-Way Goods Trade Between Vietnam and New Zealand reached $777 million in 2012.

Vietnam is one of the New Zealand Aid Programme's core bilateral partners.

The overall goal of the strategy is to support sustainable development through improving rural livelihoods and basic education opportunities,

especially for poor and marginalized people.

New Zealand also provides scholarships for postgraduate study in New Zealand and Vietnamese officials attend the English Language Training for Officials, ELTO.

So talking about the investment from New Zealand to Vietnam,

we know that there are now 20 projects worth about 77.8 million Yost dollars in Vietnam.

So I'm wondering have the New Zealand investors certified with the business environment in Vietnam

and what are your Recommendation to Vietnam so

that Vietnam can attract more investment from New Zealand to Vietnam in the year 2014 and in the longer future Well,

100

I think the first thing is that I think there's a lot more potential to grow the Investment relationship,

101

but not just from New Zealand to Vietnam I think there are also opportunities for Vietnamese companies to invest in

102

Zealand and we've seen

103

that with Vinamilk for example investing in New Zealand dairy companies in New Zealand which is very welcome from our perspective.

104

Our main investments in Vietnam at the moment are in the education

105

and agricultural areas and also there's some investment in mining here

106

but in terms of what can be done to continue to

107

encourage New Zealand investors here I think I think the key thing is making the rules

108

and the regulations as transparent as possible

109

and as simple as possible so people can understand what are the rules that they need to meet.

110

And I think the third thing that's really,

111

really important is to provide certainty to investors so that when those rules are put in place in a transparent way,

112

they don't change too much over time,

113

they don't change frequently and that gives investors confidence to be here for the long haul

114

and to really contribute to Vietnam's development and prosperity.

115

One of the things we're doing in New Zealand is we're really driving for delivery of government services online

116

and I think that's an area of real potential here where

117

in future people will be able to do a lot of their business with government online through e-services.

118

Just to give you an example,

119

in New Zealand now, if you want to register a company,

120

you can register a company online,

121

set up a company in 10 minutes.

122

If you want to pay your income tax or your company tax,

123

you can do it all online.

124

And that has huge savings and reduces the stress and increases the transparency for the public and really helps business thrive.

125

So those would be some things I would suggest which will really help to encourage investment into Vietnam.

126

So among the five key sectors,

127

what will be the key sectors that will be the focus of the cooperation between New Zealand and Vietnam?

128

The areas that I'm really focused on beyond the traditional trade and economic area are firstly tourism.

129

We're seeing an increasing number of New Zealand tourists,

130

Kiwis coming from New Zealand to Vietnam,

131

up 20% year on year over many years now.

132

and that's great and it's not only good for Vietnam,

133

it's also good for New Zealand as young Kiwis get to really experience Asia,

134

you know, a great country in Asia.

135

But also we want to see a lot more Vietnamese coming to New Zealand

136

and discovering the amazing country that we have down in the bottom of the South Pacific.

137

Education is the second one.

138

We have more than 2,000 Vietnamese students studying in New Zealand

139

and we really want to encourage and see many more Vietnamese students getting a New Zealand education.

140

The third priority that I'm very much focused on is how we develop our development assistance partnership that we have with Vietnam.

141

So those are three areas in particular that I'm very focused on,

142

which I think will bring a lot of benefit and understanding between our two countries.

143

So 2015 marks the 40th anniversary of Vietnam and New Zealand relations.

144

So can you review some of the plans that Vietnam and New Zealand will cooperate to celebrate this special anniversary?

145

Yes, well, of course, most of that's secret

146

but we're going to be focused on a series of activities which will be cultural,

147

some business focused, some education focused.

148

But the overall idea is to really try and engage with and get Vietnamese people thinking a lot more about New Zealand.

149

And so we're going to be telling what we call the New Zealand story.

150

The New Zealand story of open hearts,

151

open minds, open spaces, which is what New Zealand represents.

152

And I guess one thing I have to do in particular as New Zealand ambassador for

153

that year is I have to really practice my Vietnamese.

154

So when I do more interviews and when I'm giving speeches,

155

I can say many better things in Vietnamese.

156

So how would I say at the moment?

157

I would say And once again,

158

thank you very much Mr. Ambassador for joining our program today

159

And we hope that in the year 2015 you can master Vietnamese language Thank you And with that,

160

we have to wrap up our program for today For comment and feedback,

161

don't hesitate to write to us at shangvietnam at vtc.vn and once again avan hiệp goodbye for now

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
