BritCham Vietnam E-Newsletter June 2021 - Week 3

In May 2021, the G7 Group held the Foreign Ministers Meeting, marking the first face-to-face meeting in two years, in preparation for the online summit from June 11 to 13. Taking place in context of the global pandemic COVID-19 situation getting more complicated and the COVAX campaign in jeopardy due to lack of vaccines, the G7 Summit has taken discussion on narrowing the huge disparity between developed economies and the countries most in need in approaching the vaccination supplies. At the same time, the discussion also mentions the coordination to promote global economic recovery.
Let’s join the conversation with Mr. Christopher Jeffery - Chairman of British Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam.
We invite you to watch the TGSK: "G7 chung tay đối phó thách thức". Broadcast at 9:15pm on Saturday, June 5, 2021, rebroadcast at 10am and 10pm on June 6, and on many different other time frames on SCTV8-VITV!
