At the event jointly held by the Korea Trade Commission under the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, and the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, both sides took time to examine ways in which to boost bilateral trade.

Since the Vietnam-RoK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) originally came into force in 2015 and the two countries signed a deal on expanding collaboration between their trade remedies agencies in 2018, they held discussions on each nation’s import regulations and established a co-operation channel for sharing views on trade defence matters.
