Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong celebrated his birthday Friday during his trip to Vietnam along with President Yoon Suk Yeol. Lee turned 55.

In a dinner event hosted by Vietnamese President Vo Van Thoung at International Convention Center in Hanoi, Vietnam, Lee was greeted with a birthday cake and musical performance. Samsung Electronics runs plants for smartphones that sell in about 130 countries, as well as for home appliances. It also opened a research and development center in Hanoi in December 2022.

This was part of the event at which Yoon and Thoung stressed the need to enhance people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, according to Yoon's office.
