================================================================================
In a recent visit to South Korea, the spouse of Party General Secretary Tô Lâm, Ngô Phương Ly, expressed her pleasure at the warm and friendly exchange with the first lady, Kim Hye Kyung. The visit, which was at the invitation of President of the Republic of Korea Lee Jae Myung's spouse, marked a significant milestone in the ongoing cultural exchange between the two nations.
During the visit, Ly and Kim emphasized the importance of people-to-people exchanges and cultural collaboration in strengthening the favorable social foundation of the bilateral relationship. They agreed that cultural similarities serve as a solid foundation for enhancing friendly exchanges.
Both societies value patriotism and historical resilience, which is celebrated in collaborative artistic works honoring independence struggles. Shared appreciation for cultural products and creative industries fosters technical collaboration in music, film, and fashion, advancing cultural industries with a modern yet nationally rooted identity.
People-to-people cultural exchanges, such as support for Vietnamese-South Korean families and younger generations embracing dual heritage, strengthen social cohesion and bilateral ties. Popular cultural exchanges also extend into cinema and cuisine, where South Korean media incorporates Vietnamese settings and food, increasing cross-cultural familiarity and affinity.
Ly called for technology transfer in music, cinema, fashion, and the application of advanced science and technology in the creation of cultural and creative products. She also requested support for the protection of copyright in cultural collaborations between Vietnam and South Korea.
Kim expressed empathy and appreciation for the efforts of Vietnamese brides in adapting to life in South Korea and contributing to the country's development. She emphasized the importance of nurturing the younger generation to grow up with pride in both Vietnamese and Korean cultures.
Kim affirmed that the South Korea will continue to implement effective support policies to help Vietnam-South Korea multicultural families stabilize their lives. She also stated that the younger generation should become special bridges of friendship between the two nations.
Ly showed her hope that the good relationship between Vietnam and South Korea will continue to develop. It remains to be seen whether the South Korea will agree to the requests for collaboration and support, and whether they have any existing policies or programs in place to support Vietnamese brides in the country. However, the ongoing cultural exchange and high-level visits underscore these affinities as a solid foundation for expanding cooperation and friendship.
