A delegation from the National Assembly (NA)’s Committee for Science, Technology and Environment, led by its Chairwoman Nguyễn Thanh Hải, has paid a working visit to the UK to study the country’s experience in lawmaking, scientific and technological development, innovation, green transition, and sustainable development.
The June 21-24 visit took place as Việt Nam is accelerating the implementation of Politburo Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, which identifies breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation as key drivers of development, with institutional reform regarded as a prerequisite. The trip also contributed to implementing the Việt Nam–UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership established in October 2025, under which science, technology and digital transformation are among the key areas of cooperation.
The delegation paid a courtesy call on Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons Judith Cummins at the UK Parliament, during which the two sides welcomed the development of the two countries’ relations, and agreed to strengthen cooperation between the Vietnamese NA and the UK Parliament.
At a working session with the House of Commons’ Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, the two sides exchanged experience in lawmaking and parliamentary oversight in areas, including artificial intelligence (AI), big data, satellite technology, personal data protection, and regulatory sandbox mechanisms. They also discussed the organisation of parliamentary hearings to support legislative supervision.
