On January 13, hosted by Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Phan Van Mai, Speaker Kim thanked the Ho Chi Minh City metropolis for its support of the RoK community living and working there.
He proposed the local authorities further create favourable conditions for the expansion of the Korean International School in the city; facilitate Korean firms to fulfill their tax obligations; and support the RoK’s bid to host the World Expo 2030 in Busan.
Agreeing with such proposals, Chairman Mai hoped the RoK legislative leader and parliamentarians will help the city cultivate its cooperation with the East Asian nation in a host of sectors such as investment, tourism, culture, sport, people-to-people exchange, digital transformation, urban management, and climate change response.
Ho Chi Minh City authorities always attach importance to removing obstacles and difficulties facing Korean enterprises and communities in the city, the leader stated, adding that the city is ready to participate in the World Expo 2030.
