He said the RoK delegation’s visit took place amidst thriving relations between the two countries, adding that delegation exchanges will develop defence links, bringing them on par with bilateral ties.
Echoing this view, Kim highlighted progress in Vietnam-RoK relations, including in defence.
The countries signed a memorandum of understanding on defence cooperation in 2010 and held a defence strategy dialogue at the deputy ministerial level in 2012.
Defence cooperation activities are being carried out in a result-oriented manner in conformity with their strategic partnership, he added.
