According to Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Vu Dai Thang who spoke at the event, South Korea is the largest investor, second largest tourism and bilateral development co-operation partner, and the third largest trade partner of Viet Nam.

With more than US$66 billion worth of total registered capital, South Korean firms play an active role in key economic sectors in Viet Nam such as apparel, electronics, infrastructure, energy, automobiles, aerospace, finance-banking, and logistics.
