ASEAN-Korea Centre’s former chief acknowledged with insignia
An insignia of the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade has been presented to former Secretary-General of the ASEAN – Korea Centre (AKC), Chung Hae-moon, in recognition of his significant contributions to the development of industrial and trade activities in Vietnam.
He appreciated efforts by Chung, who he described as a friend of Vietnam, in the growth of the industry and trade sector in the Southeast Asian country. The diplomat said he hopes Chung will continue supporting Vietnam on any positions he will take.
The former AKC Secretary-General also promised to help intensify the two countries’ multi-faceted relations.
The AKC, inaugurated in March 2009, is an inter-governmental organisation based in Seoul.
It implements activities to enhance trade, investment, tourism, cultural and people-to-people exchanges between the 10 ASEAN member states and the RoK, ultimately promoting the ASEAN – RoK partnership, mutual understanding and the bloc’s integration efforts.
