According to Hoang Quoc Vuong, chairman of the Vietnam-UK Friendship Association, the association built a strong network of partners with many organizations, schools, businesses and individuals related to education.

This network creates favorable conditions for connecting and sharing knowledge resources, opening up opportunities for cooperation and exchange of experiences, helping to take advantage of young knowledge resources and the Vietnamese intellectual community.

Through international seminars and forums hosted/coordinated by the association, intellectuals in the UK, Vietnam and other countries meet, exchange cultures and knowledge, share experiences and models.

That contributes to the development of the Vietnam-UK friendship and cooperation.

In addition, the Central Committee of the Vietnam-UK Friendship Association and its member carried out many people-to-people diplomacy activities, connecting young intellectual resources, the Vietnamese community in the UK, scholars, scientists, and entrepreneurs.

That helps promote the development and application of knowledge in cooperation, helping to put the association's activities into practice and depth through the initiative to organize international forums, conferences and seminars on the fields of interest to Vietnam and the UK.

These fields include promoting economic cooperation, extensive trade, responding to climate change and sustainable development towards a low-carbon economy.
