The diplomat stressed that the Vietnam-RoK comprehensive strategic partnership is developing strongly, practically, and comprehensively. To Vietnam, the RoK currently holds the top position in terms of foreign direct investment, 2nd place in official development assistance (ODA) cooperation and tourism, and 3rd position in trade and labor cooperation. Vietnam is a key partner of the RoK in implementing the Korea-ASEAN Solidarity Initiative (KASI) and the RoK’s Indo-Pacific Strategy.
He held that there is still large room for further development of the bilateral relationship in the coming time, given the need for economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic and major global trends such as the fourth Industrial Revolution, digital transformation, green growth, and optimization of supply chains.
