Pyongyang: The security ministers from North Korea and Vietnam convened in Pyongyang over the weekend to deliberate on enhancing cooperation in public security and law enforcement, as reported by Pyongyang's state media on Monday. North Korea's Public Security Minister Pang Tu-sop engaged in discussions with his Vietnamese counterpart, Luong Tam Quang, on Sunday. They shared insights and experiences from their respective public security organizations in the domain of law enforcement.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the discussions also encompassed strategies for expanding and developing bilateral exchange and cooperation. The Vietnamese delegation's arrival in Pyongyang on Saturday marks a continuation of recent diplomatic engagements between the two nations.
Last month, Vietnamese Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung visited Pyongyang and held meetings with Jo Yong-won, chairman of the Supreme People's Assembly's standing committee, and North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui. This visit followed an October summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Vietnamese President To Lam, marking the first visit by a senior Vietnamese leader to North Korea in 18 years. The diplomatic relations between North Korea and Vietnam have been progressively strengthening since that summit.
