On Wednesday, Lee held summit talks with Vietnamese President To Lam in Hanoi and agreed to strengthen cooperation in strategic sectors such as energy, infrastructure and critical minerals and work towards stabilizing supply chains.
On Thursday, Lee held talks with Vietnamese Prime Minister Le Minh Hung and National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man, meeting with Vietnam's top three leaders.
Lee and Lam, joined by their spouses, toured the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, a Unesco World Heritage site in Hanoi, to build on friendly relations as the Korean president wrapped a four-day state visit to Vietnam on Friday.
