This remark was made by the President Truong Tan Sang at a reception for a delegation of the RoK’s Supreme Court, led by Court Administration Minister and Supreme Court Justice Cha Han Sung, in Hanoi on July 18.

He affirmed that cooperation between the two court sectors has helped deepen the strategic partnership between the two countries.

Vietnam will do its best to strengthen cooperation with RoK, Sang said, adding that the start of negotiations for a free trade agreement will be a driving force for trade relations between the two countries.

Members of the RoK delegation also said that they hope the two countries will continue to increase ties in all sectors to make their strategic partnership practical, effective and intensive.
