He attended high-level talks on economy, trade, investment, and educational cooperation and visited the Embassy, met representatives of the Vietnamese community in Hungary, UK, and some neighboring countries.

The visits aimed to continue the foreign policy of the 13th National Party Congress, deepen bilateral cooperation, and affirming Vietnam's respect for the Vietnam-Hungary Comprehensive Partnership and the Vietnam-UK Strategic Partnership.

The signing of the Cooperation Agreement between the National Assembly of Vietnam and Hungary is an important milestone. The UK visit strengthens connectivity, promotes cooperation, and especially the effective implementation of the UK-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement.
