“An 800-Year Bond Between Vietnam and the RoK and My Return”
“The relationship between Vietnam and the Republic of Korea did not merely begin in 1992, when the two countries officially established diplomatic relations. For me, that bond dates back to 1226, when Prince Ly Long Tuong set foot in Goryeo. Over the course of 800 years, the flow of history has not remained confined to the pages of books; rather, it has endured across generations, nurtured through people-to-people exchanges, trust, and shared cultural values.”
