Speaking at a Gala Dinner held in London on January 29 to review VBUK’s operation in 2022 and work out development orientations in 2023, President Phuong said the association organized many activities, including online workshops with Vietnamese economic experts and entrepreneurs in the UK to share business knowledge and experience for the Vietnamese business community at home.
The VBUK has also supported business cooperation between its member enterprises and businesses at home, he added.
Speaking at the event, Ambassador Nguyen Hoang Long highly appreciated the role of the VBUK in connect Vietnamese firms in the UK and the homeland.
He said that at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos earlier this month, Vietnam was seen as one of the three VIP markets (Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines) in the world, adding that it is the second largest trade partner of the UK, so there is a large room and opportunities for the Vietnamese business community in the European nation.
The Ambassador emphasized that Vietnam Trade Office in the UK and the VBUK need to support member businesses to strengthen connection with enterprises in the homeland, and serve as bridges to bring Vietnamese goods to the UK market.
At the event, Trade Counselor Nguyen Canh Cuong updated on the Vietnam – UK trade cooperation, and introduced 10 key exports of Vietnam for Vietnamese businesses in the UK to refer to, thus seeking business opportunities./.
