According to the leader of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, the diplomatic relationship between Vietnam and Korea has achieved many important achievements in almost all fields. Currently, Korea holds the number one position in foreign direct investment (FDI); second in development cooperation, tourism and labor; third in trade cooperation in Vietnam.

In Da Nang City, Korean partners have invested in many large projects in the fields of ICT, high technology, and automation, and are actively supporting the city in developing the semiconductor, microchip, artificial intelligence, and high-quality service industries.

In particular, for many years, Korea has become the leading international tourist market in Da Nang. In the first 6 months of 2024, the total number of Korean visitors staying in the city reached nearly 823 thousand, nearly equal to the total number of Korean visitors to Da Nang in 2023, which was 935 thousand.

Mr. Kang Boo Sung - Consul General of Korea in Da Nang City said that in 2023, bilateral trade turnover between the two countries exceeded 76.1 billion USD, making Vietnam the 3rd largest trading partner of Korea and Korea is currently the largest investor in Vietnam with a total accumulated investment capital of 85.9 billion USD.

In terms of people-to-people exchanges, the number of Korean visitors to Vietnam last year reached approximately 3.6 million, and the number of Vietnamese people visiting Korea is also steadily increasing. With this growth rate, the role of the Central region of Vietnam, with Da Nang City as its center, is also becoming more and more important.

“The Korean Consulate General in Da Nang will always cooperate closely with Da Nang City and make every effort to expand the scope of cooperation to new areas such as high-tech industry cooperation, business and university cooperation, and firmly consolidate the foundation for mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation in the future.

"I believe that the Vietnam - Korea Festival is a valuable opportunity for Korean and Vietnamese people to understand each other more deeply and increase their feelings for each other through active exchanges of people, culture and economy towards this goal. During the event, I hope that many Vietnamese people, especially Da Nang people, will have the opportunity to experience diverse Korean culture such as Korean cuisine and K-Pop, as well as experience great products from Korean businesses, thereby building friendship and understanding of Korea and the Korean people," said Mr. Kang Boo Sung.

During the 3-day festival (August 16-18), many unique cultural exchange activities will be held such as the Vietnam - Korea Food Making Contest with ingredients imported from Jeju Island; Vietnam - Korea Art Talent Contest for young people; Vietnam - Korea folk games...
