UK-Vietnam Business Summit 2025 to Boost Finance and Renewable Energy Cooperation

The UK-Vietnam Business Summit 2025 will focus on deepening bilateral cooperation in finance and renewable energy. Scheduled for 5 November in Ho Chi Minh City, the event aims to strengthen collaboration in developing an international financial centre and advancing clean energy projects. UK Consul General Alexandra Smith said the partnership builds on the UK-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement and the UK’s entry into the CPTPP, which removed tariffs on 99% of UK exports to Vietnam. The summit will highlight how British expertise in green finance and offshore wind can support Vietnam’s energy transition. Bilateral trade between the two nations has tripled over the past decade to more than GBP9bn (USD11.3bn) annually.
