The diplomat made the notice during his courtesy visit to PM Nguyen Tan Dung on the occasion of his new term in Vietnam.
The RoK will be the host country of the next G20 Summit when it assumes the Chair of the Group at the end of this year.
PM Dũng said that Vietnam, now holding the ASEAN Presidency, is ready to coordinate with the RoK for this event.
Though the RoK stands among biggest investors in Vietnam, untapped potentials remain considerable, particularly in economy, trade, investment, and education, said PM Nguyen Tan Dung, encouraging the two sides to further exploit them in the time to come.
The Government chief hoped that Mr. Park Suk Hwan would spare no effort to concretize the bilateral strategic partnership through specific activities during his ambassadorship.
The Korean diplomat said he would try his best to expand the relations between the two countries, especially the RoK’s ODA and direct investment in Vietnam.
VN supports peace and stability in Korean peninsula
Concerning the Cheon-an case, PM Dung said that the Government of Vietnam extends condolences over the human damage.
Vietnam takes close watch of the investigation thereof and other countries’ responses to the case.
Vietnam’s stance is to protest against the use of military force in international relations, reaffirmed PM Dũng. Vietnam is a responsible and trustful member of the international community, thus it will settle international issues in an equal and responsible way.
Vietnam hopes relevant parties to practice self-restrain and address the issue through negotiations in order to secure peace and stability in the Korean peninsula, the host leader said./.
