Speaking at the event, British Ambassador to Vietnam Iain Frew highlighted the importance of strengthening bilateral cooperation as Vietnam - UK relations have been upgraded to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. He said technology, finance, innovation and digital transformation are opening up new opportunities for cooperation, enabling businesses from both countries to connect, share experience and explore investment and business opportunities. Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Phan Thi Thang said bilateral trade and investment ties have continued to grow. By the end of 2025, UK investors had 623 projects in Vietnam with total registered capital of nearly 4.7 billion USD, mainly in finance, industry, energy, technology and logistics. Vietnam is working to develop an integrated, modern, green and digital logistics system, while the UK has strengths in trade finance, marine insurance, port technology and supply-chain management.
