The festival will promote the friendship between Da Nang and Korean localities. It will be jointly held by the Department of Foreign Affairs, the RoK Consulate General in Da Nang, and other relevant departments and agencies.
The festival will include traditional art performances staged by Korean artists, 60 booths introducing the culture, products, cuisines and folk games of both countries, a culinary contest, and a film screening.
The Vietnam-RoK relationship was upgraded to a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2022. The RoK currently ranks first in foreign direct investment (FDI) in Vietnam with 9,500 projects and a combined registered capital of more than 80 billion USD.
The two countries are striving to raise their bilateral trade revenue to 100 billion USD this year, and 150 billion USD by 2030.
The RoK is also the second biggest source of tourists to Vietnam. Other fields like culture and sports have also contributed to bringing people of the two countries closer.
