(Photo: VNA)– Vietnamese National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue and his entourage will make good use of the visit to the United Kingdom (UK) to develop further links between the two countries' parliamentarians, according to Mr. Warwick Morris , Chairman of Vietnam-UK Network (VUKN).Even though there are differences between the two systems, the two sides will find plenty of common ground, which hopefully will lead to closer cooperation and dialogue in bilateral parliamentary relations, Mr. Morris, who is also former British Ambassador to Vietnam, told Vietnam News Agency ahead of Hue’s official visit to the UK from June 28 – 30.Mr. He also said he believes British tourists will soon be flooding back to Vietnam following the welcome lifting of COVID-19 restrictions.As for links between parliamentarians, Mr. Morris said these were starting to be developed when COVID-19 intervened. However, he said both sides are keen to take matters forward and have more exchanges, recalling a very positive initial virtual meeting between several parliamentarians from both countries in October 2020. The lead on the UK side was the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Vietnam, currently chaired by Mr. Wayne David.He went on to welcome Hue’s upcoming visit, saying the resumption of such high-level people-to-people exchanges is vital to the strengthening of relations generally.According to Mr. Morris, the VUKN, as a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers, continues its efforts to strengthen bilateral links across a wide range of sectors.
