There is great potential for trade development between Vietnam and South Korea. The bilateral Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has contributed and continues to contribute to enhancing the political, economic, and cultural relations between the two countries, further strengthening the Vietnam–South Korea strategic cooperative partnership.
In addition to the bilateral FTA, Vietnamese businesses also benefit from broader trade opportunities with South Korea thanks to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which came into effect last year. Another FTA is the ASEAN–Korea Free Trade Agreement (AKFTA).
