ICAK Chairman Park Sun-ho said the two associations have made substantial contributions to their countries’ relations in the field of construction, noting that under the MoU, enterprises of both sides will build new plans to further develop their partnerships in construction.

He expressed his hope that with the RoK’s experience in developing infrastructure and underground structures, the countries can jointly carry out projects.

Following the signing, the two sides will discuss with each other to make plans on the projects that can be carried out in the time ahead, he went on, adding that ICAK hopes to receive suggestions from the VACC and construction companies of Vietnam.

For his part, VACC Chairman Nguyen Quoc Hiep said in the field of investment and construction, a number of leading Korean enterprises have been present in Vietnam for many years such as Samsung, Hyundai, and Dong A. With their rich experience, Korean firms have been gaining a foothold in the Vietnamese market.
