This is the first of such visit to Vietnam by Speaker Kim since he took office in July 2022 and also the first by a senior leader of the RoK since the two countries upgraded their relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership in December 2022.

With a solid foundation and high hopes for bilateral relations, including parliamentary ties, Speaker Kim’s visit is expected to continue promoting cooperation between the two legislative bodies in an increasingly effective and substantive manner, thereby greatly contributing to the Vietnam - RoK relations.
