HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc reiterated that Việt Nam wants to strengthen the strategic co-operative partnership with the Republic of Korea (RoK) during a phone call with acting RoK President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn yesterday.
He expressed his wish that both sides would work together to hold activities celebrating the 25th anniversary of bilateral ties, effectively implement the bilateral free trade agreement, and expand ties across culture, education, tourism, labour and people-to-people exchange.
The Vietnamese PM asked for increased collaboration at multilateral forums, especially within the framework of the United Nations, ASEAN and the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation forum, contributing to maintaining peace, stability and development in the region and the world.
