Deputy PM Khai underlined that the Vietnamese Government hopes that with the lifting up of bilateral ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership, the two sides will enter a new glorious chapter of cooperation.
Mr. Kang said the KDB expects to open a branch in Vietnam to share experience and support Vietnamese firms to reach out to the world.
IBK Chairman Kim Sung-tae said that he wishes to set up a bank specializing in providing financial services to small-and-medium-sized enterprises, thus upgrading the ecosystem of the Vietnamese State-owned-enterprises and contributing to the growth of the ties between the two countries.
