The event was attended by Vietnam Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Hoang Trung Hai, VCCI Chairman Vu Tien Loc, KCCI Chairman Park Yongman, and representatives and businesses of the two countries.
Deputy PM Hai said that the dialogue offered opportunities for representatives of the governments and business communities of the two countries to have significant discussions to contribute to improving the business climate and strengthening bilateral economic cooperation, investment and trade in the near future. He stressed that after 21 years of diplomatic ties, the Vietnam – RoK cooperative has seen great achievements on every field through lifting the relations to a strategic partnership in 2009.
