He expressed his hope that with the RoK’s experience in developing infrastructure and underground structures, the countries can jointly carry out projects.

Following the signing, the two sides will discuss with each other to make plans on the projects that can be carried out in the time ahead, he went on, adding that ICAK hopes to receive suggestions from the VACC and construction companies of Vietnam.

With their rich experience, Korean firms have been gaining a foothold in the Vietnamese market.
