Dong Nai (VNA) – A conference on boosting trade links between Vietnamese and Republic of Korea firms took place in the southern province of Dong Nai on October 28.

At the function, local businesses discussed with RoK investors in the province market information and cooperation opportunities in a number of key sectors, such as logistics, timber production, garment-textiles and packaging.

Park Hyun Bae, head of the association of Korean investors in Dong Nai, said RoK-invested companies are performing effectively in the province.

He called on local authorities to continue facilitating their operations in the long term.
