It was aimed at strengthening the cooperation between thecountries for the development of peace and prosperity, he stated.

According to Nguyen Thi Tham, from the institute, the RoKconsiders Vietnam a key partner in President Moon Jae-in “new southern policy”.

“With its special geographic location, Vietnam plays animportant role in cooperation policy of the RoK in the region,” she said.

It was necessary to boost bilateral cooperation in thecontext of the implementation of the new southern policy which focuses onSoutheast Asia, she added.

This idea was also shared by Kwon Yul from Korea Institute forInternational Economic Policy.

Given the expanding global trade protectionists andincreasing instability in global economy, the two countries should cooperateclosely to effectively support countries in the Mekong sub-region.

Regarding plans for future development, he suggested thatmultilateral forums such as APEC, the Republic of Korea-ASEAN and the Republicof Korea-Mekong Sub-region should be intensified in response to challenges likefood, energy and non-traditional security.

He also said Vietnam was acting as an important partner inthe economic development in the region.

The RoK is the biggest investor in Vietnam and bilateraltrade between the two countries reached 64 billion USD last year

However, he underlined the need to tackle Vietnam’s tradedeficit to the RoK, which stood at 31.7 billion USD last year.

He suggested the country improve supporting industry as wellas strengthen technology competence.
