Dear Members of Vietnam Partnership
It was very nice to see most of you again at our meeting in Hanoi during the annual Education UK Exhibition during which we provided you with an update on student visas for the first 10 months of 2007 and a piece of research on lifestyle trends in Vietnam. All presentations and market research documents are now available on the Vietnam Partnership website.
We hope you will enjoy our latest newsletter.
Best wishes for a festive season!
