Vietnam and the U.K. signed a bilateral free trade pact Tuesday to maintain their existing relationship once the Brexit transitional period ends on December 31.
The Vietnam - U.K. Free Trade Agreement (UKVFTA) was signed in London at 9 p.m. Tuesday, Hanoi time.
Because of Covid-19, the Vietnamese government representatives and the Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh had not been able to be present to sign the deal, and the two governments have authorized the ambassadors for the mission.
