During the talks, both sides expressed satisfaction with the remarkable progress in Vietnam-RoK relations, particularly since the elevation of their ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in December 2022.
Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Minister Son affirmed that Vietnam attaches importance to its cooperation with the RoK and wishes to work with the East Asian country to further deepen their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in the coming time.
He proposed that the two sides continue to enhance political trust through high-level delegation exchanges; strive to meet the set target of bringing bilateral trade to 100 billion USD; and encourage Korean businesses to expand investment in Vietnam in areas where the RoK has strengths and Vietnam has demand.
The RoK Foreign Minister welcomed these proposals, emphasising that the country considers Vietnam a key partner in its foreign policy in the region.
