Hanoi (VNA) – President Nguyen Xuan Phuc applauded the Republic of Korea’s businesses in Vietnam for stopping the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in factories and business establishments, and contributing millions of US dollars to the pandemic prevention and control work in Vietnam.

He made the compliment at a meeting in Hanoi on July 15 with Yoon Sang Ho, Chairman of the Korean Association in Vietnam and representatives of a number of large RoK corporations.

The President said that when giving help to Vietnam, the RoK also helps its businesses in Vietnam maintain production and business.

He committed to creating a favourable business environment for businesses, including those from the RoK, to develop.

The President also promised to facilitate RoK experts' entry into Vietnam for working, and noted his belief that RoK businesses and investors will join hands with Vietnam to bolster the COVID-19 vaccine fund to overcome the pandemic.

RoK Ambassador to Vietnam Park Noh Wan highly appreciated Vietnam's success in both pandemic prevention and economic development. 

He said RoK businesses in Vietnam have always complied with regulations on COVID-19 prevention and control. As soon as Vietnam set up the COVID-19 vaccine fund, Korean businesses have actively contributed to the fund.

The ambassador asked the Vietnamese side to help with the entry of RoK experts, adding that the two sides will work closely in purchasing or producing COVID-19 vaccine to good effect.

Representatives from the Korean Association in Vietnam, the Korean Business Association in Vietnam and the Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam said they hoped that the host country's authorities will continue to create favourable conditions for RoK citizens in Vietnam to work and get vaccinated against COVID-19.

President Phuc said he wishes RoK businesses and organisations will consider Vietnam a link of the global COVID-19 vaccine supply chain, and pledged to ask relevant Vietnamese agencies to pay attention to the issue of COVID-19 vaccination for RoK citizens and the entry of RoK experts into Vietnam./.
