Vietnamese Party chief meets with Speaker of South Korean National Assembly

To, who is on a four-day State visit to South Korea, took the occasion to call on the two countries to strengthen cooperation to fully harness bilateral and multilateral mechanisms, expand market access for Vietnamese goods, and work toward achieving the trade goal of US$150 billion by 2030.

He suggested South Korea enhance collaboration with Viet Nam in labor and high-quality human resource training, and create favorable conditions for the Vietnamese community to live, study, work, and integrate in the Northeast Asian nation.

Speaker Woo was convinced that the visit would inject fresh momentum into the Viet Nam–South Korea Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, lauding Viet Nam's achievements under the leadership of the Communist Party and voiced confidence that the country would achieve its target of becoming a developed country with high income nation by 2045.

The two leaders welcomed the strong growth in bilateral ties across all areas and reaffirmed their commitment to further deepening cooperation under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework. 

They were pleased to witness the growing parliamentary cooperation and agreed to strengthen the role of legislative bodies in supporting and promoting the implementation of agreements between the two governments, thereby fostering substantive, effective, and comprehensive economic development.

General Secretary To underscored the necessity to effectively implement existing parliamentary cooperation agreements, boost exchanges between the two legislatures, and enhance the role of friendship parliamentarian groups in both countries.

Both sides also compared notes on regional and international issues of shared concern, pledging mutual support at multilateral forums such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the Asian Parliamentary Assembly for Peace (AAPP).

The two sides shared their common views on ensuring security, safety, and freedom of navigation and overflight in the East Sea, maintaining peace, stability, and legal order, and settling maritime disputes peacefully in line with international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)./.
