He praised the practical and effective cooperation between the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security and the KNPA, especially their collaboration in information exchange, training, infrastructure, and international cooperation, which has contributed to deepening the Comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and the RoK.
The PM suggested building on this momentum to foster political trust through the exchange of delegations and promote practical cooperation between the Vietnamese public security force and the RoK's police force, thus contributing to enhancing the Vietnam-RoK relationship in a deeper and more comprehensive and effective manner with a focus on strengthening economic, trade, and investment ties, particularly in labour cooperation, capacity-building projects for the Vietnamese public security force, and mutual support at multilateral forums.
PM Chinh proposed the two sides protect the legitimate rights and interests of the Vietnamese community in the RoK and the Korean community in Vietnam, especially Vietnamese-Korean multicultural families. He also requested the KNPA to advocate for the RoK government to waive visa requirements for Vietnamese citizens.
Cho, for his part, thanked and highly appreciated the PM's efforts to boost the bilateral ties, especially in national defence-security.
He noted that this was his first overseas trip in his current position based on the importance of the bilateral relationship and vowed to further advance the ties between the two nations.
The guest proposed that the Vietnamese side, under the direction of the PM, create a safe and favourable environment for Korean citizens and businesses in Vietnam. In return, the RoK is committed to ensuring security and safety of Vietnamese tourists and citizens residing in the East Asian country, he stressed./.
Vietnam always attaches importance to developing comprehensive strategic partnership, especially in defence, with the Republic of Korea (RoK), said member of the Standing Board of the Central Military Commission and Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army Sen.

The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.

Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
