On May 26, 2023, the Institute of Malariology, Parasitology, and Entomology Quy Nhon (IMPE-QN) had a meeting with international expert groups that have been cooperating with IMPE-QN in research and treatment of malaria, and other infectious diseases in Central Vietnam. The meeting aimed to further enhance groundbreaking applied and fundamental scientific research, cooperation and knowledge exchange in the field of malaria, drug-resistant malaria, and some emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases that significantly impact human health in Viet Nam. On the international partners' side, there were expert groups from the Australian Defence Force Malaria and Infectious Disease Institute (ADFMIDI) under the Australian Department of Defence, the Naval Medical Research Unit Two (NAMRU-2) under the U.S. Navy, and the Australian Defence Attaché's Office. Welcoming and working with the experts were Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ho Van Hoang - Director, Dr. Huynh Hong Quang - Vice Director, leaders and staff members. During this working trip, the Australian expert delegations acknowledged and praised the efforts and contributions of IMPE-QN over the past years. They also recognized that Viet Nam, in general, and IMPE-QN, in particular, have the necessary foundations to achieve malaria elimination by 2030. NAMRU-2 expressed gratitude for the warm and gracious reception and further discussed other potential research collaborations in Viet Nam. They anticipated more extensive changes in the future and expressed a desire for scientific research cooperation with IMPE-QN.  
The Australian expert delegations acknowledged the efforts and contributions of IMPE-QN in the progress of malaria elimination in Viet Nam At the meeting, Assoc.Prof. Ho Van Hoang highly appreciated the delegations' visit to IMPE-QN in the context of increasing emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in Viet Nam and all over the world.
