It took place on the occasionof the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II and marked the resumption of people-to-peopleexchange between the two countries after an over-two-year hiatus due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.
Ambassador Nguyen Hoang Long said as Vietnam has reopened the economy and internationaltourism, the programme with a diversity of activities created a major opportunity for foreign friends to come to know images of Vietnam, along with its economy and tourism attractiveness. Vietnam is one of the first countries to hold cultural and trade exchangesin the European nation over the last two years, he highlighted.
Britishinvestors spoke highly of Vietnam’s investment climate with an open andconsistent policy, a transparent business environment, and high politicalstability.
While Vietnam is viewed as apromising country for the development of tech startups thanks to an open marketand a young and dynamic population, it is also believed to be a potential partnerfor educational cooperation because of the high demand for tertiary and highschool education, Long said.
Cultural activities such aspainting exhibitions and concerts also grabbed public attention, and Vietnamese artists were received by British Minister of State at the Cabinet Office Nigel Adams and Secretary of State for Education Nadhim Zahawi.
This helped strengthenthe friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, theambassador said.
