Since diplomatic ties were set up 30 years ago, Vietnam and the RoK have recorded many significant achievements in various areas, from politics and economy, to cultural and social affairs.
The RoK currently ranks first among foreign direct investors, second among official development assistance (ODA) providers, and third among trading partners of Vietnam.
The two countries target 100 billion USD in bilateral trade by 2023 and 150 billion USD by 2030./.
