Park said relationship with VNA is one of his agency’s most important global link and agreed to boost bilateral cooperation to make it a symbol of Asian news agency collaboration.
The two leaders stressed the necessity to improve the quality and efficiency of information exchange, as well as the importance to meet the demand for up-to-date, precise and rich news in politics, economics, culture and science-technology, which will serve as a bridge for the two peoples to enhance mutual understanding.
Both sides agreed to instigate a language training course for Vietnamese and Korean correspondents.
