Binh Duong province, Daejeon city solidify collaboration
Vietnam’s southern province of Binh Duong and the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s Daejeon city have inked a cooperation agreement for the next five years with a focus on economics, healthcare and education.
The deal was reached at a working session in Binh Duong on November 2.

Binh Duong – Daejeon connections have also been supported by their countries’ central and local authorities, they said.
On the occasion, the Deajeon delegation visited the Binh Duong provincial People’s Council, Mien Dong (Eastern) International University and the Becamex-IDC Corporation as well as participated in a seminar on medical tourism.
