On September 24, in New York, during the high-level general debate of the 80th session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, combined with bilateral activities in the United States, Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son met with UK Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice David Lammy.

To promote cooperation between the two countries in the upcoming period, Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son suggested that both sides enhance delegation exchanges, especially key leadership exchanges in 2025, on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of establishing the Strategic Partnership, and discuss directions to elevate bilateral relations to a new height.

The UK Deputy Prime Minister also emphasized continued support for Vietnam in responding to climate change, particularly in effectively implementing the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP).
Both sides agreed to continue effectively implementing bilateral cooperation mechanisms and to leverage the UK's accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) to explore cooperation potential between the two countries.
