At the opening ceremony at Staybridge Suites London-Vauxhall in Lambeth, Vietnamese Ambassador to the UK Do Minh Hung said the event promotes trade between Vietnam and the UK as Vietnam targets double-digit growth.
Trade promotion activities like Vietnam Promotion Week in the UK have connected businesses of the two countries, contributed to market expansion and supply chain diversification, and created export growth momentum.
The UK is a key economic partner of Vietnam in finance, banking, innovation, renewable energy, education, science, and technology – areas expected to drive the next phase of bilateral cooperation, Hung said.
Two-way merchandise trade totaled 9 billion USD last year, with Vietnam posting a trade surplus.
