He said he highly valued information provided by VNA and expressed his wish to develop the bilateral relations to become a symbol of co-operation among news agencies in Asia.
VNA General Director Huong spoke highly of the Yonhap delegation's recent visit, stressing the need to continue exchanging visits between high-level delegations, reporters and information. He also emphasised the need to increase mutual assistance between the two news agencies' bureaus in their respective countries.
"VNA is willing to support the implementation of language training programmes for Yonhap," the VNA General Director said.
He introduced VNA's functions as a national news agency, saying that VNA is accelerating its multimedia components, including mobile news and the TV station, along with existing media to improve the quality of its publications in order to provide information to foreign news agencies. In addition, VNA also focuses on personnel training and human resource development as well as management reform.
VNA values its co-operation with Yonhap, General Director Huong said, seeking to promote relations between the two news agencies to promote friendship between Viet Nam and the RoK.
Huong agreed with President Park Jung-chan on the importance of regular co-operation and said VNA would create favourable conditions for Yonhap reporters to cover news in Viet Nam.
In return, President Park Jung-chan said Yonhap will work to bring language training programmes to Vietnamese and RoK reporters and said the company was ready to share information technology with VNA. He also expressed his interest in VNA's initial efforts to launch a TV channel and said that Yonhap will soon have a TV channel of its own to meet the RoK people's demand and give their correspondents a larger voice.
Also at the talks the two sides agreed to further increase the quality and effectiveness of information exchange to produce quick and accurate news and act as a bridge between the two countries. During its visit, the Yonhap delegation also visited the VNA Television Centre. — VNS
