Vietnamese National Assembly Chairman Meets South Korean Corporate Leaders for Investment Cooperation

During his official visit to South Korea, Vietnamese National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man met with leaders from SK Group, Samsung Electronics (Senior Vice President and CEO), and LG Innotek (CEO, under LG Group) in Seoul on the afternoon of September 8 (local time). The discussions are understood to have focused on deepening economic cooperation between the two countries and expanding investment from South Korean companies into Vietnam. Chairman Man likely emphasized the significant role that technology transfer and capital investment from South Korea play in Vietnam's economic growth strategy. Under its one-party system, Vietnam has pursued market-oriented reforms and actively attracted foreign direct investment (FDI), achieving remarkable economic growth. South Korea, in particular, has long been one of Vietnam's largest investors, with numerous Korean companies establishing a presence, especially in the high-tech sector. These meetings likely aimed to further strengthen these robust bilateral relations and explore new investment opportunities. Chairman Man also held meetings with members of the South Korean National Assembly and leaders of political parties, indicating efforts to bolster cooperation at the political and diplomatic levels. This reflects Vietnam's approach to foreign relations, which prioritizes economic benefits alongside maintaining regional stability and cooperative ties.
