He also expressed satisfaction at the recent fine development of relations between the two countries as shown in the RoK’s leading the lists of foreign investors and trade partners of Vietnam, being a major development aid donor and a promising market for Vietnamese labour.

“Efforts should be made to deploy projects reached by the two sides during this visit as soon as possible while ensuring long-term, equal and mutually-interested cooperation,” said the Government leader.

“The Vietnamese Government will generate the best available conditions for RoK investments in Vietnam for that purpose,” Dung pledged.

In reply, Minister Chung Jong Hwan reported agreements reached with the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport in their recent working session, including concrete measures for cooperation in roads, seaports and railways, further exchange of visits and personnel training assistance.
