He also welcomed RoK businesses to invest in major infrastructure projects in Vietnam and affirmed that the Vietnamese State, Government, and relevant agencies will strive to create favourable conditions for the RoK’s businesses to invest and increase their presence in the country in the future.
For his part, Yoon affirmed that the Republic of Korea (RoK) is ready to collaborate with Vietnam in various areas, especially those in which the RoK has strengths and Vietnam has needs.

PM Chinh is on a three-day journey to attend the widened Summit of the Group of Seven (G7) and make a working visit to Japan at the invitation of his Japanese counterpart, Kishida Fumio. This visit marks a milestone in the development of the longstanding relationship between the two countries, and is sure to have a lasting impact on the global stage. PM Chinh will use this opportunity to increase collaboration between the two countries, and to share ideas and insights that will benefit both. Additionally, the visit will serve to strengthen the ties between the two nations, and to open the door to further progress and growth. With this visit, PM Chinh is set to make a lasting impression on the international stage, and to further advance the relationship between Japan and Vietnam. According to the detailed agenda of the expanded G7 Summit, the Vietnamese leader will attend three discussion sessions on crucial topics, such as: handling multiple crises, joint efforts for a sustainable planet, and towards a peaceful, stable and prosperous world. He is set to take part in activities related to the G7 Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII) initiative, and hold bilateral meetings with heads of state and international bodies.
The invitation of Vietnam to attend the expanded G7 Summit by Japan, which is holding the rotating Presidency of the G7, is a testament to the importance that the G7 in general and Japan in particular attach to the nation’s growing role in the region. |
