Hanoi (VNA) - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on April 16 welcomed Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs Cho Tae-yul who is paying an official visit to Vietnam and attending the 4th Partnership for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Summit.

PM Chinh expressed his appreciation for Cho's official visit and attendance at the P4G Summit, noting that the trip will help enhance the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Vietnam and the Republic of Korea (RoK) in a substantive manner.

The Vietnamese leader spoke highly of the efforts of the Korean government and people in maintaining political and social stability as well as foreign relations. He expressed his confidence that the East Asian country will soon stabilise again and continue its robust development in the coming time, while affirming that the Vietnamese Government will maintain close cooperation with the new Korean government.

PM Chinh underscored the remarkable progress in the Vietnam-RoK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, laying stress on several highlights in the bilateral relations, including strengthened political trust, new growth benchmarks in trade and investment collaboration, expanded development partnerships, and enhanced tourism and local collaboration, among others.

He suggested both sides increase high-level delegation exchanges and contacts through various flexible forms. He specifically recommended the foreign ministries of the two countries to continue coordinating and advancing cooperation mechanisms to review the implementation of the action plan to deploy the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

Discussing economic matters, PM Chinh urged the RoK to further open its markets for Vietnamese goods to reduce the trade deficit between the nations. He also called for increased technology transfer, particularly core and source technologies, and requested the RoK side’s support in high-quality human resources training and concessional loans for Vietnam's strategic infrastructure projects, including the Vietnam-Laos railway.

Additionally, he proposed the RoK cooperate with and support Vietnam in developing its cultural and entertainment industries, affirming commitment to addressing challenges faced by Korean businesses investing in Vietnam.

Cho, for his part, expressed his admiration for Vietnam's socio-economic achievements, stating that the RoK considers Vietnam a key partner not only in its policy towards ASEAN but also within its broader Indo-Pacific strategy, and wants to strengthen cooperation with the country across all sectors.

He strongly agreed with the cooperation priorities outlined by PM Chinh and committed to encouraging relevant Korean ministries and agencies to effectively implement high-level agreements between the two countries.

The minister took this occasion to thank the Vietnamese Government for its support for the Korean community in Vietnam and suggested continued regular dialogues with Korean firms to address their existing challenges./.
