Vietnamese president encourages local cooperation between Vietnam and Japan

VOV.VN - Vietnamese President Vo Van Thuong asked Fukuoka and other prefectures in Japan’s Kyushu region to explore cooperation opportunities in southern Vietnamese localities such as Vinh Long, Binh Thuan and Can Tho during his November 29 meeting with leaders of these prefectures.

Thuong, who is paying an official visit to Japan, said the recent lifting of Vietnam - Japan ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership for peace and prosperity in Asia and the world would open up a new stage of development in bilateral relations.

He proposed that the Japanese prefectures help realize opportunities by encouraging their businesses to invest in Vietnam, especially in the fields of their strength such as processing, manufacturing, smart agricultural applications, wastewater treatment, labour, and human resource training.

Governor of Fukuoka Hattori Seitaro and leaders of other localities in the Kyushu region affirmed that their prefectures are keen to strengthen cooperation with Vietnamese localities and they want to receive more high-quality Vietnamese workers and technical intern trainees in their localities.

Seitaro briefed Thuong on cooperation between Fukuoka and Vietnam in general and Hanoi in particular in the fields of people-to-people exchange, culture, and high technology transfer. He expected the study tour program for high school students to be resumed, thereby promoting understanding between the two countries’ young generations.

The governors of Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Miyazaki, Saga, and Kagoshima highly appreciated Vietnamese expatriates’ contributions to the prefectures’ socio-economic development, serving as a bridge to foster relations between the two countries. They expressed their desire to promote bilateral cooperation in human resources, including receiving more Vietnamese people to work and study in their localities.
