He highly valued the Seoul’s twinning relations with Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City, stressing that its experiences in urban management, people’s welfare and high technology application are very useful to the Vietnamese cities.

The country has continually created favourable conditions for the Korean community in the country, he affirmed, expressing his hope that businesses of the RoK, including those from Seoul, will keep investing and expanding operations in Viet Nam.

Mr. Phuc also appreciated the Seoul administration and the mayor’s support for the Vietnamese people in their city, he added.
