3. to confer and co-operate with relevant organisations to promote improvements to the infrastructure in order to create suitable conditions for Members and their families living and working in Vietnam;
4. to promote business ties between Vietnam, the United Kingdom, Eire and other countries for the mutual benefit of Members and their Vietnamese counterparts;
5. to compile, collate and distribute to Members useful and relevant social and welfare information about living in Vietnam;
6. to organise events for Members and others, in order to promote social and business contacts with each other and with the people of Vietnam; and
