Can Tho seeks stronger cooperation with RoK
The Mekong Delta city of Can Tho and the Republic of Korea (RoK) hold great potentials for further cooperation, therefore, the RoK Ambassador to Vietnam should work as a bridge to bring RoK investors to the city, said a local official.

Trung informed his guest that Korean firms are investing in nine projects with combined registered capital of US$340 million in Can Tho, notably the US$171 million Teakwang Vina sport shoe factory and US$62 million Lotte shopping mall.
Can Tho has shipped rice, aquatic products and apparels to the RoK and imports materials, he said, adding that two-way trade remains modest, reaching just US$45 million last year.
While hailing Can Tho’s development potentials, Lee promised to promote cooperation between Can Tho and the RoK – the largest foreign investors in Vietnam – by introducing the city’s strengths to RoK investors.
He hoped that the city authorities will support a project launched in Can Tho last month to provide vocational training for repatriated Vietnamese brides and orientations for to-be-bride women before they come to the RoK.
