Vinh appreciated Kim’s contributions to and the role by KOICA in promoting the Vietnam – RoK cooperation over the past three years.

The RoK side promised to assist Vietnam in personnel training and improving capacity to build databases in the work, thus effectively addressing consequences of wartime toxic chemicals and UXO./.
