As the two countries are celebrating 45 years of diplomatic relations in 2018, it will provide “heavenly timing, earthly benefitting and humanly sustaining” conditions for British enterprises to display in Vietnam the best of what they have to offer in education, creativity and innovation.
Field visited Ha Noi from January 4-6 and co-chaired the 6th Vietnam-UK Strategic Dialogue with Permanent Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son.
