During
a reception in Busan city on December 4 for its Mayor Oh Keo-don, NA Chair
Ngan said Vietnam attaches great importance to its ties with the RoK as the
two countries share historical and cultural similarities.
She
stressed the need to promote ties between the two countries’ localities
outside of governmental and parliamentary links.
Lauding
cooperative ties between Busan and Ho Chi Minh City over the past two
decades, Ngan expressed her delight at the fact that one fourth of Korean
investors in Vietnam come from Busan.
The
leader hailed the RoK as one of the top trade and investment partners of
Vietnam, adding that Vietnam is interested in small- and medium-sized
enterprises, wishing that more Busan businesspeople would invest in fields of
Vietnam’s demand.
According
to the Vietnamese top legislator, the number of Vietnamese people living and
working in the RoK is equivalent to the total Korean population in Vietnam.
As well as locality-to-locality cooperation, she called for stepping up
people-to-people exchange.
Expressing
her thanks to Busan authorities for providing positive support for Vietnamese
nationals in the locality, she hailed Busan for its preparations for the
establishment of a support centre for Vietnam-RoK families.
Along
with refining legal regulations and creating a fair business environment for
foreign firms, Vietnam also advocates a policy of protecting foreign
citizens, including Koreans, in the country.
Mayor
Oh Keo-don, for his part, thanked the top Vietnamese legislator for choosing
Busan as the first destination during her trip. He said that the Busan people
love Vietnam and its people, and that there are many Vietnamese people living
and working in the locality.
He
expressed his belief that Vietnam will further thrive and that both countries
should partner up for mutual development.
