Meeting British Secretary of State for International Trade Anne Marie Trevelyan in London on Wednesday, Chairman Hue said Vietnam is ready to create all favorable conditions for British investors to operate in Vietnam. The two sides jointly create favorable conditions to promote cooperation between their businesses, he said.
