The official said Japan’s support, especially its official development assistance (ODA), has contributed to developing infrastructure in HCM City.
Highlighting the intensive and extensive development of the Vietnam-Japan ties across fields, Tam said parliamentary diplomacy has played an important role in promoting the bilateral relations.
Jungo Inoue, for his part, recalled the visit to Fukuoka by a delegation of HCM City in March 2018 to seek cooperation in flood prevention and startup support, saying the visit has created a premise for his first-ever trip to the Vietnamese southern metropolis to enhance collaboration between the two localities.
Fukuoka wishes to tighten relations with HCM City in the time ahead, the official affirmed.
