CPV delegation pays working visit to Japan
VOV.VN -A delegation of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) led by Phan Dinh Trac, Secretary of the CPV Central Committee and Head of its Commission for Internal Affairs, has been on a working visit to Japan over September 24- 30.
During the visit, the Vietnamese Party official met with Vice President of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Masahiko Komura, Head of the Secretariat of the Japanese Communist Party Akira Koike; Minister of Justice Yoko Kamikawa, and State Minister for Foreign Affairs Kazuyuki Nakane.
The Japanese officials expressed their condolences over the demise of late President Tran Dai Quang.
They noted with satisfaction the growing bilateral ties between the two countries and highlighted the CPV delegation’s visit amid the 45th anniversary of Vietnam-Japan diplomatic ties.
They expressed their desire to further beef up collaboration with Vietnam and the CPV, saying that exchanges through the party channel provided a foundation for stronger political trust, thereby spurring the development of economic cooperation, people-to-people exchange, and connectivity in other sectors.
Trac, for his part, extolled the strong, comprehensive, and practical growth of the Vietnam-Japan extensive strategic partnership, and proposed measures to enhance bilateral relations and called for Japan to expand investments in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese Party delegates also had working sessions with the Supreme Court, the Public Prosecutors Office, the National Personnel Authority, and the National Police Agency to study their experience in anti-corruption and judicial reform.
The Japanese sides shared information on the performance of work ethics, corruption prevention, and refinement of the legal system, while pledging to support Vietnam in these aspects.
The Vietnamese delegation also visited Shizuoka prefecture and laid a wreath at a memorial stele for doctor Asaba Sakitaro, which was built 100 years ago by Phan Boi Chau, a Vietnamese nationalist figure.
The doctor had offered Chau great assistance when he was in Japan as part of the Dong Du movement in early 20th century that incentivized young Vietnamese to go East to study for national salvation. The stele has been seen as a symbol of Vietnam–Japan friendship.
