In the time to come, the association will coordinate with the Vietnamese Trade Office and the Vietnamese Embassy in the U.K. as well as ministries, sectors, and localities to organize trade and investment events to connect Vietnamese and British businesses, thus providing more chances for them to expand partnership and contribute to the two economies, he said.
Meanwhile, VBUK Vice President Nguyen Li Le said the association has always worked as a bridge between Vietnam and the U.K. as well as a venue for Vietnamese businesses in the U.K. She said that such meetings will be held regularly in every two or three months to foster the solidarity among Vietnamese firms for common development.
Along with business issues, participants also shared their experience in many areas such as electricity and gas efficiency in businesses and other noteworthy issues.
VBUK, a non-profit organization established in 2006, operates with the goal of supporting Vietnamese businesses in the U.K., while connecting and assisting domestic businesses that engage in import-export and capital attraction activities with the U.K., as well as British businesses wishing to invest and cooperate with Vietnamese peers.
Currently, the association has a membership of more than 100.
