The forum had practical significance in strengthening connections between Hai Phong and South Korean partners, promoting investment, trade and industrial cooperation, and opening opportunities in green industrial parks, high technology and sustainable manufacturing. It also enabled Hai Phong to promote its investment environment and introduce the city as a potential destination for international investors, particularly South Korean businesses seeking to expand production and business in Viet Nam.
