Vietnam, South Korea Ink Deals on Security, Nuclear Power

Vietnam and South Korea signed a range of agreements spanning security, tech innovation and the development of nuclear power plants, underscoring deepening industrial ties as the Iran war disrupts energy markets and global supply chains.

The two sides agreed to back greater participation by Vietnamese firms in South Korea’s production networks, part of a broader push to build a more self-reliant and resilient economy, General Secretary and President To Lam said after talks with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Hanoi on Wednesday.
