At a meeting with a delegation from the RoK’s National Assembly in Hanoi on Thursday on the sidelines of the ongoing 26th Annual Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF-26), Hien noted that Vietnam always treasures cooperative ties with the Republic of Korea (RoK) and both sides need to enhance high-ranking visits and promote result-oriented collaboration to bring benefits to the two peoples. Hien wished that the RoK will continue to encourage its firms to invest in Vietnam in infrastructure development, renewable energy, the support industry and technology transfer.

Head of the RoK parliament delegation Jinbok Lee lauded Vietnam’s socio-economic development over past years and agreed that the two parliaments need to enhance bilateral cooperation and strengthen cultural and people-to-people exchanges.
