(QNO) - A delegation from the South Korean Consulate General in Da Nang city has recently paid Quang Nam province a courtesy call.
Leaders of Quang Nam, including Provincial Party Secretary Phan Viet Cuong, Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Le Tri Thanh received the delegation.
At the meeting, Mr. Cuong talked about the recent provincial socio-economic development, especially in the post-COVID-19 period.
He also mentioned the success in the National Tourism Year - Quang Nam 2022, the event attractive to both local and international visitors.
Besides, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Vietnam - South Korea diplomatic relations (1992-2022), different activities were held in Quang Nam, including the National Taekwondo Clubs Championships - Korean Ambassador Cup 2022, and South Korean Days in Quang Nam - Hoi An 2022.
Currently, there are 56 Korean projects with a capital of over USD 864 million in Quang Nam.
The government of South Korea has also provided Quang Nam with ODA funding through health and education projects. Furthermore, annual non-governmental aids are more than 500,000 US dollars.
