Vietnamese Deputy PM to attend Future of Asia Forum 2024 in Japan

At the forum, Khai is scheduled to deliver a speech and meet leaders of countries attending the event. He is expected to deliver a message of a dynamically developing Vietnam that is determined to innovate and deeply integrate internationally, while consistently implementing Party guidelines on national development and foreign affairs, with a focus on promoting green growth, digital transformation, and sustainable development, as well as welcoming international investors.

His working trip is also to concretize the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for peace and prosperity in Asia and the world that the two countries have recently established.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Pham Quang Hieu said that Khai’s visit takes place in the context of Vietnam - Japan relations developing very well, especially after the two countries upgraded their relationship to a level of Comprehensive Strategic Partnership late last year.

According to the diplomat, bilateral relations have developed positively and comprehensively with high political trust, in all fields, including economy, trade, investment, defense - security, culture-education, and people-to-people exchange. Both countries have much potential for stronger cooperation as the two economies can complement each other for mutual development.

Future of Asia is an international gathering where political, economic, and academic leaders from the Asia-Pacific region offer their opinions frankly and freely on regional issues and the role of Asia in the world. Held by Nikkei every year since 1995, it is considered to be one of the most important global conferences in Asia.

Vietnam first attended the 15th Future of Asia Forum in 2009 and it has continuously sent high-level delegations to attend this annual event until now.
