THE British Government should support the lifting of the US embargo on Vietnam, Legislative Councillor Mr Martin Barrow said.
On his return to the territory yesterday after a three-day visit to Hanoi, Mr Barrow said he would continue to press the British Government to ask the US to change its policy.
''France, Germany, Japan, Australia have all made their position quite clear, but not the British. I urge them to stand up and adopt a more aggressive position this time,'' he said.
Mr Barrow said he was waiting for a response from Britain.
The matter needed urgent attention, he said, as the World Bank would be holding its annual meeting in Washington in two weeks.
He hoped that the US would lift its embargo as soon as possible, including the veto of International Monetary Fund/World Bank support.
