Hosting KOVIFA Chairman Chol Young Joo in Seoul, PM Phuc hoped that Chol and KOVIFA members will further their efforts to develop the sound friendship and all-round cooperation between Vietnam and the Republic of Korea (RoK).

The Vietnamese Government and localities always create favourable conditions, particularly in investment license procedures, for Korean investors to do successful business in Vietnam, he said, adding Vietnam is also striving to increase trade value between ASEAN and the RoK.

He also took the occasion to ask Chol and the KOVIFA to help Vietnamese brides so that they can better integrate into the host nation.

Chol, for his part, affirmed the KOVIFA has worked to elevate the bilateral ties to a new high, expressing his hope to receive further support from the Vietnamese Government so that the association can contribute more to the friendship between the two nations.

He pledged to give more support to Vietnamese nationals living and working in the RoK.
