Song Jin-ju, a Korean student, and her friends decided to come to Vietnam for a four-day holiday. She said she is lucky to be in Hanoi during the days when the summit takes place.
“My friends and I decide to travel to Vietnam because of good prices. Luckily, we are here at this time. The Korean people in my country are highly interested in this event,” said Song.
Meanwhile, Austrian Ambassador to Vietnam Thomas Schuller Gotzburg held that the event is a good chance for Vietnam to raise its reputation on the world stage.
“It’s good for Vietnam and Hanoi especially because media attention has already focused on Hanoi. Both sides put trust in the Government of Vietnam that they can organise the summit,” the ambassador told the VNA reporter.
The diplomat said Hanoi in particular and Vietnam in general have organised many
big international events, creating good chances for tourism development.
“Many people know that Hanoi can make big events. Next year you have F1 race in
Hanoi. The more often you put Hanoi, Vietnam in international media landscape,
the more tourists will come,” he said.
Working in Vietnam for 16 months, the ambassador is impressed by hospitable and
friendly Vietnamese people. He also said the summit provides a good opportunity
for Vietnam for attracting foreign investment.
“Investors would find that this is the place they can go. This country can host
important events. It’s very safe and secured,” he said.
The DPRK-USA Hanoi Summit Vietnam is scheduled to take place on February 27-28.
The event has attracted much attention from the world as it directly related to
peace building in the region and there have been positive signals in the
negotiation process since the first summit in Singapore in June 2018.-VNA
