His participation in COP26 will extend a strong message on a responsible, proactive and active Vietnam that is joining hands with the international community in settling global challenges on climate change as well as demonstrates determination, efforts and difficulties and challenges facing Vietnam in coping with the phenomenon.
The PM’s visit to the U.K. will help consolidate the political trusts and further deepen multi-faceted cooperation; thus making the bilateral relations become more practical and effective.
The Vietnam-U.K. strategic partnership have, over the recent past, developed strongly and positively. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the two countries have still maintained the exchange of high-level delegations and contacts.
The U.K. is now Vietnam’s third largest export market in Europe, and its 13th largest foreign investor.
