South Korea and Vietnam recently celebrated the completion of the Vietnam-Korea Cooperation Center for Smart City and Construction Technology (VKC) in Hanoi, highlighting renewed bilateral cooperation. The center exemplifies South Korea’s ongoing investment in Vietnam’s smart city initiatives and its adaptation to recent administrative changes.
The South Korean government has been pivotal in advancing smart city technologies, with increased investments and projects in Vietnam. However, to manage this growth effectively, South Korea must enhance governmental and private sector communication, ensuring a cohesive strategy for smart city development and bilateral cooperation.
