Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has asked the Republic of Korea (RoK) to expand its official development assistance (ODA) to Vietnam.
Talking with the host President, Lee Myung-bak in Seoul on May 30, PM Dung also suggested the RoK facilitate Vietnam ’s exports in order to gradually change the bilateral trade unbalance.
PM Dung affirmed that Vietnam sees the RoK as one of the top important partners, saying he hopes the two countries would together exert efforts to make their cooperation in politics, economy, diplomacy, national security and defence as well as culture, education and environmental protection deeper, more stable and effective towards a strategic partnership.
President Lee Myung-bak said the RoK has attached importance to developing the cooperation with Vietnam . He praised the results of the May 29 talks between PM Dung and his RoK counterpart Han Seung-soo, particularly their agreement on principle to bring the Vietnam-RoK relationship to the “Strategic Partnership” for peace, stability and development in the region and the world.
Regarding the situation on the Korean Peninsula , PM Dung said Vietnam always wishes for peace and stability on the peninsula and the country’s consistent policy is to support the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninisula, protest nuclear tests and nuclear weapon proliferation. He said Vietnam supports a process to deal with the nuclear issues through peaceful dialogues and negotiations.
