In Seoul, Trong met executives of several Korean businesses operating in Viet Nam. He said he hoped South Korean businesses expanded their operations in Viet Nam and offered to support them.

Trong said that in the 12 years since it was established, the association had contributed considerably to the relationship between the two countries.
