(VOV) - State President Truong Tan Sang on April 3 received Hur Nam Sik, Mayor of the Republic of Korea’s Busan city, who is leading a delegation of Busan’s business people and intellectuals on a working visit to Vietnam.
Sang said relations between Vietnam and the RoK have developed well in recent times, through visit exchanges of their high-ranking delegations, ministries, localities, business and people’s organisations.
He noted the harmony of life and acculturation between Vietnamese and Korean expatriates living in each other’s territories is a vivid manifestation of the growing diplomatic ties between the two countries.

The Vietnamese state will continue assisting RoK businesspeople and residents to work and live in Vietnam as their second home, Sang said.
