According to Minister Hands, with the UK – Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (UKVFTA), which officially came into force this May, the focus of the agreement in 2021 is on strengthening business ties, eliminating trade barriers, and increasing access to services including education. Education holds a special place in the relationship between the two countries, with the UK being among the top five destinations for Vietnamese students to study overseas alongside holding the highest number of joint educational programmes with Vietnam.

In addition, Minister Greg Hands and Ambassador Gareth Ward also shared with students their university experiences, emphasising the importance of innovation and the ability to foresee and enhance practical skills in the next 10 or 20 years. Minister Hands also sent words of encouragement to the students: “Wherever and whatever you choose to study, flexibility and creativity will be more important than ever in the new post-COVID-19 era. Young people like you will lead the way in developing innovative solutions and new ways of working. I believe you have all the tools and capability to do that when graduating from BUV”.

Minister Greg Hands and Ambassador Gareth Ward had a panel discussion with BUV students at the new lecture hall.

At the end of the reception, Prof. Dr. Raymond Gordon – President of BUV expressed gratitude to UK Minister of State for Trade Policy Greg Hands and the British Ambassador to Vietnam Gareth Ward. He also emphasised the continuous effort and the commitment of BUV to the mission of bringing world-class British education to Vietnam: “We will begin further major extensions in 2022. We have an investment plan that will result in more experiential learning spaces, practice-based classrooms and learning technologies. With the development of the strategic educational cooperation policy between UK Government and the Government of Vietnam, BUV students will have the opportunity to experience international volunteering activities, internships, jobs and exchange programmes between Vietnam and the UK.”
