He urged stronger cooperation to effectively bring into full play bilateral and multilateral collaboration mechanisms, greater market access for Vietnamese exports to deliver on the target of 150 billion USD in two-way trade by 2030. He also called for enhanced cooperation in labor and high-quality human resources training.

He called for favorable conditions to be created for the Vietnamese community to live, study, work, and integrate into the country. Notably, he asked for support for overseas Vietnamese to potentially become members of the Korean National Assembly in the future.

Speaker Woo, for his part, expressed his hope that General Secretary Lam’s visit will create new impetus, contributing to deepening the Vietnam-RoK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. He praised Vietnam’s recent progress under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and its top leader, believing that Vietnam will deliver on its goal of becoming a high-income and developed nation by 2045.

Earlier the same day, President Lee Jae-myung and his spouse Kim Hae-kyung hosted a tea reception for General Secretary To Lam and his spouse Ngo Phuong Ly at the Blue House, where the leaders also enjoyed performances of traditional Korean arts.
