With over 1,000-years of history and popular destinations, Hanoi is expected build close-knit relations with Gyeonggi for mutual benefits, he said, adding that the two sides share many cultural similarities. The Korean delegation also expressed willingness to exchange experience and help Hanoi develop urban areas.

Vice Chairwoman of the municipal People’s Council Phung Thi Hong Ha said Hanoi is carrying out eight development programmes, including rural and agriculture development. The city hopes to learn experience from the RoK province in developing hi-tech agriculture, and explore cooperation in other realms such as economics, culture and social affairs.

Many businesses from the RoK came to operate in Vietnam, with more than 5,000 investment projects worth over 50 billion USD as of now. Cooperation in labour has been maintained, thanks to Vietnam’s efforts and the RoK’s close coordination. The two sides signed two memorandums of understanding related to the field.

Besides, Vietnam and the RoK also witnessed the success in other areas of cooperation, particularly in culture, people-to-people exchange, education-training and tourism. In 2016, Vietnam welcomed 1.5 million visitors from the RoK.
