Speaking at the reception, NA vice Chairwoman Phong emphasised that the Vietnam-RoK strategic cooperative partnership has seen strong and comprehensive development with practical achievements in the recent past.

The Vietnamese NA supports and attaches importance to strengthening the friendship and cooperation with the NA of the RoK, she added.

She also suggested that the two legislatures work closely together in implementing their cooperation agreements, as well as sharing experience in law-making and the supervision of the NAs and their subordinate agencies.

The two legislative agencies should maintain regular high-level meetings and facilitate exchanges and cooperation between the two nations’ sectors and localities, towards enhancing mutual understanding and political trust and expanding the multi-faceted cooperation, she noted.

For his part, Deputy Head of the Executive Committee of the RoK Yun Jae-ok expressed his thanks to NA Vice Chairwoman Tong Thi Phong for her welcome to the delegation. He also underlined the importance of parliamentary cooperation in promoting the bilateral relations between the RoK and Vietnam.
