It looks like a war against South Korea is unavoidable now. SK has invented a territorial dispute by building an offshore platform in China's Yellow Sea and calling it their island.

Now Vietnam wants to join the action, so China can fight against both SK and Vietnam at the same time.

Nice development, this should reflect in their bilateral trade.

The defence strategy dialogue will help enhance mutual understanding between the militaries of two countries. It will contribute to strengthening the strategic comprehensive partnership between Vietnam and S.Korea.
Although the same in the name "communism", but relations between Vietnam and N.Korea are faint, it is not deep and tight as S.Korea.
Vietnamese people support for strengthening relations with S.Korea than with N.Korea....

Are you forgetting the horrendous atrocities that Korean soldiers, hired by the US, did in Vietnam?

They were so cruel that many Vietnamese would rather surrender to white Americans, than to Koreans, even though a much greater proportion of Koreans were killed in combat due to incompetence, low quality of equipment and lack of training. In fact, the Koreans often took out their anger at their own incompetence on Vietnamese prisoners.

You mean NVA and VC fighters who were terrified of the South Koreans.

Free NVA and VC fighters weren't scared of South Koreans. They were just target practice. When you get captured its a different story; you're not scared of the most competent fighters then, you're scared of the least because any dumb grunt knows how to torture, the less professional, the worse they are.

The people most scared of South Koreans war criminals are of course, in South Vietnam. It wasn't often that Korean units would get to see the front. They were mostly in "peacekeeping" which is just shorthand for looting and burning "allied" civilians.

We do not forget what happened. But today we leave the past, together move forward.
You should also remember that the US, S. Korea ... had caused crime with us for 20 years, but China had caused crime with us thousands of years, even those today. So we should forget or remember it?

Koreans quickly learned pidgin Vietnamese language; for fear that most Vietnamese translators were spies for Vietcong and NVA. Koreans also had better field intelligence than their American counterparts. Koreans conducted counterinsurgency operations so well that American commanders felt that the Korean TAOR (Tactical Area of Responsibility) was the safest. This was further supported when Vietcong documents captured after the Tet Offensive warned their compatriots to never engage Koreans until full victory was certain. In fact, it was often that the NVA and Vietcong were ambushed by Koreans and not vice versa.

It is easy to find atrocities committed by soldiers on the US/SVN side to distract from the subject, which is that the NVA/VC alliance were terrified of the South Koreans. May be this is why Mao refused Ho in the request for combat troops.

In the Korean War, the first UN soldiers to have the misfortune of going against China were the South Koreans. An entire division of them just vanished within the first few days.

Are we talking about the Korean War? But I have no problems regressing back to WW II when how many Chinese perished at the hands of the Japanese?

I also heard something about "S.Korea Divisions" in the Vietnam War. It is true that in the first period they caused difficulties for the NVA / VC (Noth Vietnam Army/ Viet Cong). But then they were disabled by NVA / VC. If not, perhaps the result of the war was different ...
My bro, please do not fall into this controversy. The topic is to strengthen cooperation between VN and S.Korea today...
