During his tenure in Vietnam, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Korea to Vietnam Choi Young Sam has made significant contributions to promoting friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and the Republic of Korea. Through his support for high-level visits and efforts to strengthen connections among localities, businesses, and people of the two countries, the Ambassador has helped deepen the Vietnam-Republic of Korea Comprehensive Strategic Partnership while expanding cooperation in people-to-people exchanges. In recognition of these contributions, the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations presented him with the “For Peace and Friendship Among Nations” Medal at a ceremony held in Hanoi on July 14.

As part of a working visit to the RoK, on June 13, a delegation from Gia Lai Province, led by Pham Anh Tuan, Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, attended a business roundtable with RoK's enterprises organized by the Korea-Vietnam Economic and Cultural Exchange Association (KOVECA).

Recently, at the Hana Bank Hall in Seoul, the Vietnam Women’s Union in the RoK organized the program “Hung Kings Commemoration Day - Vietnam-Korea Family Festival” in a warm and cohesive atmosphere.

Economic and trade cooperation has remained the main pillar of Vietnam-RoK relations. Two-way trade reached 89.5 billion USD in 2025, up 9.6% from 2024, and 26.9 billion USD in the first three months of 2026, an increase of 30% year-on-year.
