The event holds significant importance in enhancing exchange, understanding, and cooperation between Vietnam and South Korea across economic, cultural, and social domains.

It stands as the largest cultural exchange and business connection event in the northern province of Thai Binh to date, attracting over 10,000 participants, including leaders at various levels, businesses, locals, and tourists from both Vietnam and South Korea.

With a large-scale setup, the Thai Binh Homecoming Day event featured diverse and rich activities. The International Agricultural Fair 2023 gathered over 200 booths showcasing products and services from Vietnamese and Korean businesses.

The investment promotion conference for Thai Binh – South Korea drew the participation of more than 100 South Korean enterprises. During the event, certificates of investment registration were awarded for three projects, while eight investment cooperation agreements were signed across various sectors such as industry and trade, education, and labour.

The cultural exchange programme and Vietnamese-South Korean gastronomy provided visitors and locals with the opportunity to experience the unique cultural aspects of both countries, including dance, music, and cuisine.

Nguyen Khac Than, Chairman of Thai Binh People's Committee, and head of the Organising Committee for the Thai Binh Homecoming Day programme, stated that the event was meticulously prepared, with logistics, reception services, accommodation, security, and traffic safety measures all well-executed,

Thai Binh Homecoming Day is a significant event, serving not only as an occasion to honour the traditional cultural values of both South Korea and Vietnam but also as an opportunity for cultural exchange, learning, collaboration, and the promotion of investment between the two nations.
