Vietnam-South Korea bilateral cooperation expansion

Overview

Vietnam and South Korea are expanding bilateral cooperation through specialized forums and industry-specific initiatives.

In early September 2026, the VK Connect 2026 forum was held in Daegu to strengthen ties between Vietnamese intellectuals and South Korean academic and business institutions. The initiative focuses on high-tech sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and biomedicine to support innovation and meet talent demands.

Following this, the Korea Spotlight 2026 event was scheduled for late October in Ho Chi Minh City. Hosted by the South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, this program aims to foster connections within the music industry through business matchmaking sessions and live performances, focusing on artist development and digital content distribution.
