CICON ASEAN 5 2025

In December 2022, KCS, which has long served as a platform for private-sector economic and cultural diplomacy, successfully hosted the CICON Hanoi 2022 and CICON Ho Chi Minh 2023, CICON Vietnam in Hanoi 2025. Building on this momentum, we now present CICON ASEAN 5 2025, to be held this October in Ho Chi Minh City under the theme:“The Age of AI: Economic Innovation Strategies between Korea, Vietnam, and ASEAN5.”

This year’s conference will bring together experts in AI, smart cities, blockchain, and convergence industries, along with key representatives from government agencies and corporations, to share insights and build a new vision for economic cooperation between Korea and ASEAN countries in the AI era.

It is also designed to establish collaborative models that facilitate business expansion and partnerships in the smart city and cultural convergence industries. Through this initiative, we aim to broaden investment and market entry opportunities between Korea and ASEAN.

Korea has emerged as Vietnam’s No. 1 foreign investor. Trade between Korea and Vietnam grew from USD 500 million in 1992—the first year of diplomatic relations—to USD 79.4 billion in 2023, with projections to exceed USD 100 billion in the near future. This partnership is more than economic—it is a deepening relationship built on mutual cultural affinity, shared values, and strategic vision.

Korea brings capital, technology, and development expertise; Vietnam offers rich resources, a skilled workforce, and a high-potential consumer market. The two countries share cultural and political similarities that make future cooperation even more natural. From the Korean Wave to mutual economic dependency, the foundation is strong and the outlook is brighter than ever.

As we mark the 33rd anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Vietnam, we invite you to join us in shaping the next chapter of Korea-ASEAN cooperation. Let’s come together to create meaningful dialogue, build partnerships, and explore innovative paths forward in this age of convergence.

Thank you.

Chairman, Park Bong Kyu
