The Republic of Korea (RoK) is ready to cooperate with Vietnam in the fields of AI and semiconductors, according to Korean experts and scientists.

The Korean experts and scientists in AI and semiconductor made the remark during a meeting with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh in Seoul on July 1, who is paying an official visit to the RoK.

They advised Vietnam to prepare large investment and high-quality human resources, and immediately implement specific short-cut projects.

They proposed issuing systematic and concrete policies and mechanisms on human resources training for these industries. In addition to local human resources, the country needs to mobilize the intelligence and resources of overseas Vietnamese, as well as resources from other countries, including the RoK.

PM Chinh asked Korean experts and scientists to continue contributing their ideas to help Vietnam build accurate incentive mechanisms and strategies that are competitive enough to attract investment and human resources; develop infrastructure for semiconductor, AI and related industries; cooperate in high-quality human resources training and smart governance; and mobilize resources for developing the two industries and related ecosystems, with the application in public healthcare system being one of the priorities needing breakthrough.

The Vietnamese government leader said he will propose the two sides sign an intergovernmental cooperation agreement on developing the semiconductor and AI industries during talks and meetings with South Korean leaders during this visit.
