Vietnam’s National Assembly (NA) wants to have more exchanges and share experiences with other countries’ parliaments, including the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s, to better carry out its functions, especially in building and improving Vietnam’s legal system.

NA Vice Chairman Uong Chu Luu delivered the statement when hosting Jin Hyeong, Chairman of the Public Administration and Security Committee under the RoK’s National Assembly in Hanoi on March 10.

The NA Vice Chairman expressed his pleasure at the fine development of the two countries’ friendly and cooperative relations and the ties between the their legislative bodies.

In recent years, delegations from the two legislatures have exchanged visits, helping strengthening mutual understanding and joint efforts.

The two legislative bodies should continue promoting exchanges and actively carry out the signed cooperation agreement, said Luu.

For his part, Jin – Hyeong praised Vietnam’s rapid economic development over recent years and offered his view that Vietnam had affirmed its position in the region and in the international arena.

The Korean official stressed that the promotion of bilateral cooperation benefits both the RoK and Vietnam and that he expects the Vietnamese NA and government will create more favourable conditions for RoK businesses, especially in administrative procedures.

The RoK will go on reforming laws and policies to create the best conditions for foreigners, including some 90,000 Vietnamese expatriates, the Korean official said.

On this occasion, Jin – Hyeong expressed his hope that Vietnam would continue backing up the peace process and nuclear non-proliferation on the Korean Peninsular./.
