The United Kingdom–Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (UKVFTA) is a free trade agreement between the United Kingdom and Vietnam. It was signed prior to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of the European Union as a Continuity trade agreement in order to protect trade and investment between the two parties as the UK would no longer be a party of the European Union–Vietnam Free Trade Agreement.[1][2]

The agreement replicates the European Union–Vietnam FTA terms with minor changes.[3][4]

Trade value between the United Kingdom and Vietnam was worth £7,057 million in 2022.[5]
