Le The Chu, Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper’s Editor-in-Chief, welcomed Iain Frew, British Ambassador to Vietnam at the daily’s headquarters in Ho Chi Minh City on Friday afternoon.

The reception marked Frew’s first-ever visit to a Vietnamese newspaper’s head office since his official succession to Gareth Ward at the end of August.

During his discussion with Chu, Frew, who was appointed ambassador to Vietnam in March, said he hoped that the British Embassy and Tuoi Tre continue to tighten cooperation and together support the development of the relations between the UK and Vietnam.

“As far as I know, the British Embassy in Vietnam and the British Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City have worked closely with Tuoi Tre newspaper in recent years,” the ambassador said in Vietnamese as he expressed his gratitude for the cooperation.

Frew shared that he had learned Vietnamese in London for one year to explore the Southeast Asian country’s culture and people.

The ambassador expressed his appreciation for the love of the Vietnamese people for the UK, and thanked the high-ranking Vietnamese leaders for signing the condolence book to Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on September 8.

Regarding the cooperation between the two countries, Frew noted that many British businesses are interested in investing in Vietnam. 

The British diplomat believes that Vietnam and the UK share great potential for cooperation in trade, education, tourism and creativity. 

Besides, high-level visits between the two sides will be one of the main focuses in the coming time, he added.

The ambassador hopes Tuoi Tre will contribute to documenting the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2023, which he highlighted as a major milestone, as well as new projects between the two countries.

For his part, Chu said Tuoi Tre readers are keen on information about the UK, particularly articles in sustainable development, pharmaceuticals, tourism, education and trade.

The chief editor added that 12,000 Vietnamese students, who are studying in the UK, serve as a bridge to strengthen the relationship between the two countries, not to mention more and more Vietnamese people interested in studying and traveling in the kingdom.

Like Frew, he also hopes that Tuoi Tre and the British Embassy in Vietnam continue to cooperate closely, contributing to nourishing the relationship between the two countries.
