Vietnam & UK agree to soon recognize ‘vaccine passports’

Despite the negative impact of Covid-19, thanks to the UK-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (UKVFTA) agreement, two-way trade continued to grow handily in the first seven months of this year, with turnover reaching $3.88 billion, up 26.92 per cent. During phone talks on October 26, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Prime Minister Boris Johnson agreed to soon recognize each other’s “vaccine passports”, to facilitate the resumption of trade and tourism.
