She briefed the guest on the success of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), revealing that Vietnam is preparing for the elections of deputies to the 16th legislature and People’s Councils at all levels for the 2026–2031 tenure scheduled for March 2026.

Praising the contributions of the RoK Embassy in Vietnam to recent bilateral progress, Thanh called on the ambassador to continue implementing high-level agreements, facilitate senior leaders’ exchanges, and promote cooperation in human resources, culture, tourism and people-to-people ties to further strengthen mutual trust and connectivity between the two countries.
For his part, the RoK diplomat showed his belief that building on the success of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Vietnam will continue to move forward firmly into a new era of development across all fields.
Appreciating Thanh’s active contributions to strengthening the Vietnam – RoK ties, Choi noted that the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries is becoming increasingly substantive and effective.
He voiced his hope that the two nations will continue to maintain high-level meetings, exchanges and interactions among parliamentary committees, legislators, young and female parliamentarians, to make bilateral relations more practical and close-knit./.
