In an interview granted to the London-based Vietnam News Agency correspondent, British Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia Ed Vaizey said cooperation with Vietnam, a dynamic economy with impressive growth, will bring in positive results. As the UK is negotiating to leave the European Union, Vaizey expressed his hope that the UK and Vietnam will reach a free trade agreement (FTA). He said that one of his priorities will be to bolster trade with Vietnam and ensure that the British Government sees the significance of a free trade deal with Vietnam, one of the fastest growing economies in Asia.
