The VFF leader made the proposal while paying a courtesy visit to Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea (RoK) Chung Sye-kyun on August 17 as part of his friendly visit to the country.
Noting with pleasure the strategic cooperation partnership between Vietnam and the RoK, which is developing fruitfully across many fields, Nhan thanked the RoK for considering his country a leading development cooperation partner.
The VFF President briefed his host on the achievements Vietnam has recorded during 30 years of reform with a growth rate averaging 6.6 percent and a poverty rate now below 5 percent.
Vietnam has become a bright spot in foreign investment attraction, especially for investors from the RoK, he noted.
For his part, Chung thanked the Vietnamese Party and State for their support to RoK businesses in the country.
The RoK’s position as Vietnam’s top investor in 2015 demonstrates that the Southeast Asian nation has outstandingly satisfied the requirements of the RoK investors, he said.
The Speaker expressed his belief that the bilateral strategic cooperation partnership will thrive in the time ahead, deserving the trust of the two countries’ leaders and people.
He suggested Vietnam inject more investments in tourism as many RoK tourists want to visit the country.
