Friendly and partnership based relationship between Vietnam and South Korea the nature, current development and future prospect

Abstract

Diplomatic relations between Vietnam and South Korea officially began on December 22, 1992. Looking back over twenty years after the end of the Cold War, along with the profound changes in the world’s situation and the situation in Asia-Pacific region, Vietnam-South Korea relationship has grown exponentially. In the history of international relations, very few relationships have not gone through the ups and downs, but growing up steadily. It seems that the relationship between Vietnam and South Korea is an exception. In a quite short period of time, since the establishment of the relationship in 1992, relations between the two countries have developed rapidly in many fields such as economic, political and cultural. It can be commented that this relationship is only continually in the rise and the two countries' public opinions are particularly welcoming this booming relationship.
