This year is the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the UK and Vietnam.

The British Embassy in Vietnam is pursuing an ambitious series of events to promote British business, education, science and culture in the coming months concluding with British Festivals in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City later this year. It is anticipated that more than 500,000 people will see at least one of the events live, and a further million through TV coverage.

The GREAT Festivals will take place on 5 – 7 October in Hanoi and in Ho Chi Minh City on 3 – 4 November. In Hanoi, it will take place around Hoan Kiem lake. The British Embassy welcomes participation by UK companies to promote themselves. There is no participation fee.
