General Secretary and President Lam showed satisfaction with the substantive progress in bilateral ties in recent times, affirming that Vietnam attaches great importance to its relationship with the RoK and wishes to further foster the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, especially in politics, economy, trade, investment, science and technology, culture, and people-to-people exchanges.

Welcoming the close cooperation between the Vietnamese Ministry of Construction and the RoK Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the host called on the two ministries to step up experience sharing and practical cooperation in infrastructure development, renewable energy, shipbuilding technology and high-quality human resources development, which are among Vietnam's priority development areas in the new era.

Congratulating Vietnam on its recent socio-economic development achievements, Kim expressed his belief that under General Secretary and President Lam’s leadership, Vietnam will continue to make new progress towards its goals of becoming a developing country with modern industry by 2030 and a high-income developed nation by 2045.

The guest presented a letter from President Lee to the top Vietnamese leader, reaffirming the RoK's desire to further promote bilateral cooperation.

The letter underscored the RoK's readiness to share its development experience in areas where it has strengths and Vietnam has demand, affirming that the RoK will remain one of Vietnam's reliable partners in implementing its national development goals in the future./.
