A delegation from the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee led by Vice President Hoang Cong Thuy on July 19 visited and held a working session with the Vietnamese Embassy in the Republic of Korea and representatives of Vietnamese associations and communities living, studying, and working in the country.
Participants included Vietnamese Ambassador to the Republic of Korea Vu Ho; representatives of departments and divisions under the embassy; representatives of Party cells; and leaders of prominent Vietnamese associations in the Republic of Korea.
At the meeting, Ambassador Vu Ho briefed the delegation on recent developments in Viet Nam-Republic of Korea relations, noting that bilateral ties continue to deepen across various fields within the framework of the comprehensive strategic partnership. The Republic of Korea is currently one of Viet Nam’s leading trading partners and its largest investor, with total registered capital exceeding 100 billion USD. Alongside the development of bilateral relations, the Vietnamese community in the Republic of Korea now numbers more than 370,000 and is one of the largest foreign communities in the host country.
Ambassador Vu Ho also raised several practical issues requiring attention in overseas Vietnamese affairs, including strengthening connectivity and cooperation between localities of the two countries, stepping up citizen protection, and establishing a mechanism for the timely sharing of information concerning Vietnamese citizens who are detained, encounter difficulties, or require assistance in the Republic of Korea.
