The visit, made at the invitation of the Journalists Association of Korea (JAK), took place at a time when the Vietnam – RoK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership is expanding vigorously across multiple fields, including the media and journalism. It is considered an opportunity to strengthen professional exchanges, share experience, and promote collaboration between the two countries’ press organisations.

During their stay, the delegation held working sessions with several leading Korean media institutions, including MBC Television and Hankook Ilbo newspaper. Discussions focused on operational models, digital-content development strategies, newsroom digital transformation, and the role of the press in shaping public opinion and improving information quality in an era increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

According to the VJA Chairman, who is also a member of the Party Central Committee and Editor-in-Chief of the Nhan dan (People) newspaper, access to modern journalism trends, advanced technologies, and news production processes of a developed media industry such as the RoK's offers a valuable opportunity for Vietnamese journalists to innovate, enhance their professional capacity, and contribute to building a more professional, human-centred, and modern press sector.

The Vietnamese delegation held talks with the JAK to review ongoing cooperation and outline future priorities. The two sides agreed to continue promoting journalist exchanges, thematic workshops, and professional training programmes, particularly in the fields of digital transformation, multi-platform journalism, and professional ethics in the new media environment.

The delegation also visited some regional media outlets to learn about converged newsroom models, data centre operations, and information-trend analysis systems currently being deployed by major Korean media groups.

Cooperation between the VJA and JAK has steadily developed for more than 30 years. Each year, the two associations organise delegation exchanges and expertise sharing, helping foster links between press agencies of the two countries.
