The relations between two legislative bodies of Vietnam and the
Republic of Korea will further be developed, contributing to
enhancing bilateral ties, said the Vietnamese top legislator.
Vietnamese
National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong made the statement while
meeting with RoK parliament speaker Park Hee-tae on the sidelines of the
consultation of G20 parliamentary speakers in Ottawa on September
3.
Chairman Trong congratulated the RoK on hosting the G-20
Summit in November, expressing his belief that the RoK will fulfill its
role as the host country and create its own imprint.
The Chairman
thanked the RoK for its invitation to Vietnam to attend the event
as ASEAN Chair, describing this a support for the southeast Asian
country as the Chair of ASEAN and the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly
(AIPA).
Speaker Park Hee-tae congratulated Vietnam on its
development achievements, saying he believed that Vietnam will
further prosper in the future.
Pleased with developments in
bilateral ties, Chairman Trong said he hoped the two sides will continue
to join hands and provide each other support at multilateral forums. He
also called for the RoK parliament as an AIPA dialogue partner to
support the Vietnamese National Assembly to fulfill its role as AIPA
Chair, particularly in hosting the AIPA-31 General Assembly.
Chairman
Trong affirmed the Vietnamese Party, State and people’s consistent
policy of attaching importance to development of friendship and
cooperation with the RoK for the benefit of the two peoples as well as
for peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and the
world.
The RoK speaker promised to promote bilateral relations,
especially the ties between the two parliaments, and wished to see
increase in exchange and cooperation in tourism between the two
countries./.
