Senator Lines said the tour of Trang An is a highlight of her visit to Vietnam this time, while highly appreciating Australian agencies’ coordination with Ninh Binh province in improving the locality’s Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI).
While visiting the site by boat, the Senator hailed the natural beauty of Trang An with majestic mountain system, and friendly hospitable locals.
