Welcoming the RoK delegation at Noi Bai International Airport were Chairman of the President Office Le Khanh Hai, Chairman of the Ha Noi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh, Permanent Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Vu, Vietnamese Ambassador to the RoK Nguyen Vu Tung, and RoK Ambassador to Viet Nam Oh Young Ju.

This is the first State visit to Viet Nam by RoK President Yoon, and Viet Nam is also the first Southeast Asian country that he visits since he took office in May 2022.

It takes place in the context that the bilateral relationship was upgraded from the strategic partnership to the comprehensive strategic partnership in December 2022 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral diplomatic ties.

Viet Nam and the RoK set up their diplomatic ties on December 22, 1992. At present, the RoK is one of Viet Nam’s leading important partners.
