Chapman reviewed the network’s activities across politics, trade, culture, education, and charity in the past year which have significantly contributed to promoting the friendship between the two nations.
In 2018, Chapman said the network plans to increase exchanges between women’s organisations and youth organisations from both countries.
Vietnamese Ambassador to the UK and Northern Ireland Nguyen Van Thao lauded efforts made by the network to help Britons understand Vietnam and connect UK organisations and individuals with Vietnamese partners.
