From our Chairman

Dear friends,
 
Hope you have all enjoyed your Tet holidays and returned back safely. You will see from the list of business events in planning that we are trying to be innovative, vary our venues for the social networking evenings and avoid duplication of topics by co-sponsoring where it makes sense with other Chambers. We are also attempting to invite a greater number of Vietnamese Alumni from UK Universities to some of our functions. In the next few days we should have in place our Business Sector Advisory Group who will consist of individuals willing to represent their sector of expertise (Manufacturing, retail...) during meetings with Government officials, UK visitors and during visible forum events. This will be a way for us as an influential community investing in Vietnam's future to be more relevant in the this country's policy formulation and influence decisions of direct interest to us in our respective sectors. Feedback from you as we put this network in place will be useful in the weeks ahead.
 
Thanks and best regards
 
Patrick Regis
Chairman
