The V-KIST is a joint project between the two governments, aiming to boost sci-tech research and application in Vietnam.
Kum Donghwa, a representative from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) shared experience in the operation of the KIST and affirmed that the institute will support Vietnam in building the Vietnam-Korea Institute of Science and Technology.
Nguyen Dinh Hau, Director of the Department of Science and Technology for Economic-Technical Branches, said the V-KIST is expected to address technological issues facing Vietnamese firms.
Hau said there is a large gap in technology development between Vietnamese enterprises and their international peers, adding that most of advanced technologies available in the country concentrate in the foreign-funded sector.
