Thắng said the Việt Nam-Republic of Korea relationship is now at its best since the establishment of their diplomatic ties in 1992. Given Việt Nam's rising prominence as a preferred destination for leading global semiconductor corporations like Intel and Samsung, Thắng expressed a keen interest in furthering cooperation in this crucial sector. Park, for his part, wished for enhanced cooperation through specialised training for officials and lecturers provided by the HCMA, along with courses for trainees. Both sides discussed and agreed to cooperate on climate change response, especially in maritime security in the region. They also stressed the importance of implementing existing frameworks and mechanisms, building trust through the publication of white papers.
