Party leader hosts outgoing Japanese Ambassador

The Party leader praised the Ambassador’s fine sentiment and his positive contributions to promoting bilateral strategic partnership during his term in Vietnam.

Trong expressed his delight at the strong and practical development of Vietnam-Japan ties across a variety of fields, especially since the two countries’ leaders issued a Joint Vision Statement on bilateral relations on the occasion of the Vietnamese Party General Secretary’s visit to Japan in September 2015.

He said Vietnam always considers Japan its leading and long term partner.

The Ambassador in turn pledged to do more to strengthen bilateral relations and people’s exchanges and showed his desire to continue promoting all-around ties with Vietnam, including intensifying high-level visits, and increasing coordination in regional and global issues.
