Vietnam, RoK promote business cooperation
VOV.VN - The Korea Federation of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (KBIZ) and the South Chungcheong administration jointly held the 2021 Pitching Day to promote business cooperation between Vietnamese and Korean enterprises.
The event, held both physically and virtually, attracted the participation of leaders of South Chungcheong province, Daejeon and Sejong cities, and more than 50 businesses in the region.
Addressing the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to the RoK Nguyen Vu Tung welcomed the RoK side’s initiative to host the Pitching Day, noting that discussions will help popularize and strengthen economic cooperation between the two countries.
The Chungcheong region, one of the leading administrative-scientific-industrial centers in the RoK, holds all favourable factors to pioneer in promoting trade, investment and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, stressed the diplomat.
Given the complicated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pitching Day is expected to help connect and create market access opportunities for both Vietnamese enterprises as well as Chungcheong SMEs, he said.
Chungcheong has cooperative relationships with a number of Vietnamese localities. Over the past years many of Vietnamese agricultural products, processed foods, and consumer goods have entered the local market of more than four million consumers.
The region is also home to a large Vietnamese community, with about 200 Vietnamese students currently studying at local education institutions.
