For his part, Kim expressed hopes that in the future, NHI and the MoHA, specifically NAPA, will continue to enhance joint work in training and developing officials, civil servants, and researchers in the areas of mutual concerns.

Visiting KAIST on the same day, the Vietnamese delegation aimed to explore the institute’s training model, which has contributed to the RoK’s transformation from a producer of light industrial goods to a leading country in high-tech industries worldwide.

On July 16, the Vietnamese officials worked with the Korean Ministry of Personnel Management and the Seoul Metropolitan Government on issues related to smart cities. Park Jin Young, director of Seoul’s digital city bureau, said he is looking forward to cooperating with Vietnamese partners in smart city initiatives.
