At a reception for the Korean guest, Phong hailed KAFF for launching the construction of a centre on improving teachers’ capacity in the city.  He pledged all possible support to the Korean community living in the city so that they could become a bridge connecting Ho Chi Minh City and the RoK in the fields of economy, culture and education. 

Choi, for his part, said the RoK would further enhance all-round ties with Vietnam, including economic, trade and education cooperation with Ho Chi Minh City. He said the non-governmental KAFF will launch joint education projects and increase the exchange of lecturers between the two countries in the near future.
