HANOI, April 22 (Reuters) - South Korean President Lee Jae Myung is set to meet Vietnam's leader To Lam in Hanoi on Wednesday as the two ​partners aim to boost energy and supply chain ties.

Lee's trip ‌to Hanoi is the second leg of a tour that started earlier this week in India, where he agreed to expand trade and cooperation in multiple fields, including ​energy, critical minerals, shipbuilding, semiconductors and steel.

At least a dozen ​government cooperation agreements are planned with Vietnam, and there may also be business deals. A large delegation accompanying Lee to Hanoi is ​expected to include executives from Samsung Electronics, SK Group, Hyundai and LG ​Group, people familiar with the matter said, as talks with Samsung for a possible back-end semiconductor factory progress.
