"I expressed my hope for a successful example of cooperation, based on our companies' technological prowess and extensive experience," Lee said, adding that Lam told him that he would "actively consider Korea's participation."

Some 340,000 Vietnamese people are estimated to reside in South Korea, and some 190,000 Koreans live in Vietnam. As there are approximately 100,000 multicultural households comprising South Koreans and Vietnamese, Lee described tỷ lệ bóng đá kèo nhà cái two countries' relationship as "countries of in-laws," during his meeting with Lam.

Highlighting cultural ties, tỷ lệ bóng đá kèo nhà cái president's wife Kim Hea Kyung also received Ngo Phuong Ly, Lam's wife, and together they visited tỷ lệ bóng đá kèo nhà cái National Museum of Korea in Yongsan, central Seoul.
