VN, RoK cooperate in industrial design

The Trade Promotion Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade
(MoIT) will cooperate with the Republic of Korea (RoK) Institute
of Design Promotion (RoK IDP) in the field of industrial design.


Under a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in
Hanoi on Sept. 15, the two sides will share experience and the latest
information regarding industrial design, cooperate in holding
seminars and fairs as well as assist enterprises in human resource
training.


Addressing the signing ceremony, Director
of the RoK IDP Hyuntae Kim said the MoU is seen as the first step for
RoK, a powerhouse in the industrial design, to work out aid programmes
for Vietnam .


Deputy Minister of Industry and
Trade Nguyen Thanh Bien said the cooperation will open up opportunities
for Vietnamese enterprises to glean experience from the RoK in order to
accelerate the sector in their own country.


According to the MoIT, investment-trade relations between Vietnam
and the RoK have developed well. In 2009, two-way trade turnover between
the two countries reached nine billion USD despite the impacts of the
global economic crisis. The figure is expected to climb to 20 billion
USD in 2015./.
