By picking Vietnam as Yoon Suk-yeol\u2019s first visit to an ASEAN country, it signals South Korea\u2019s intent to deepen its engagement with Vietnam and other ASEAN nations as part of its broader <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mofa.go.kr\/eng\/brd\/m_5676\/view.do?seq=322133\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indo-Pacific strategy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expanding trade and economic cooperation with ASEAN, and particularly Vietnam, is essential for South Korea, considering estimates that Vietnam possesses the world\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/sustainable-business\/vietnam-boosts-rare-earths-output-by-tenfold-data-2023-05-05\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">second-largest<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> estimated deposits of rare earth minerals. Vietnam has sought South Korean investments in its clean energy and mineral resource development sectors. Worsening bilateral relations between Seoul and Beijing makes economic cooperation with Vietnam an urgent matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The presence of a large economic delegation, including representatives from top Korean conglomerates and major economic organizations, emphasizes the importance South Korea places on its relationship with Vietnam. This collaborative approach could pave the way for more significant strategic partnerships in the future, thereby fortifying South Korea\u2019s presence and influence in the Indo-Pacific region.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/business-economy\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Business &amp; Economy<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/inter-korean-foreign-relations\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Inter-Korean &amp; Foreign Relations<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol will visit Vietnam from June 22 to 24, marking his first official visit to an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member state since taking office.
