Deputy PM receives President of Japan’s Nagoya University
The Vietnam-Japan friendship and cooperation is growing soundly across all spheres with increasingly strengthened political trust, Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long remarked while receiving President Sugiyama Naoshi of Japan’s Nagoya University in Hanoi on June 25.
The university has established chapters of its Research and Education Centers for Japanese Law in multiple countries, including one within the Hanoi Law University in Vietnam.
Acknowledging the successful implementation of legal training cooperation activities between Nagoya University and the Ministry of Justice in general, and the Hanoi Law University in particular, Long assessed that its centre in Vietnam serves as a commendable model with quantifiable outcomes. He expressed gratitude to the Japanese Government and university for assisting Vietnam in training generations of officials within the administrative system.
Long went on expressing his desire for Professor Sugiyama to continue backing the operation and upgrade of its centre at the Hanoi Law University, including such activities as student exchanges and development resources mobilisation.
He said he is confident that the president will continue to play a crucial role in promoting legal training cooperation between Vietnam and Japan, as well as between the Ministry of Justice, the Hanoi Law University, and Japanese training institutions, aiming to further improve the quality of Vietnam's legal workforce to meet new challenges.
Professor Sugiyama said his visit to Vietnam this time is to attend a graduation ceremony of its research and education centre in the country.
Providing information on the centre's activities over its three-decade history, including its 14-year presence in Vietnam, he wished that its graduates will contribute to fostering future cooperation between the two nations.
