Party General Secretary and President To Lam begins official visit to Japan
VOV.VN - General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President To Lam, his spouse, and a high-level Vietnamese delegation arrived at Haneda International Airport in Tokyo on the afternoon of November 8 (local time), beginning an official visit to Japan at the invitation of the Japanese State.
The visit is seen as an important step in implementing the foreign policy resolution of the Party's 14th National Congress, while consolidating and further deepening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity in Asia and the World, with a focus on promoting substantive and comprehensive cooperation across all pillar fields.
Those welcoming the delegation at the airport were Japanese State Minister for Foreign Affairs Nakasone, Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Ito Naoki and his spouse, Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Pham Quang Hieu, embassy staff, and Vietnamese community representatives in Japan.
The visit aims to consolidate and further deepen the Vietnam-Japan Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, focusing on boosting substantive and comprehensive cooperation across all pillar fields. Beside continuing to augment traditional cooperation areas such as politics, diplomacy, economy, trade, and investment on the foundation of increasingly high political trust, both sides will discuss measures to expand cooperation in new domains such as innovation, green transition, digital transformation, and high-quality human resource development, while continuing to step up cooperation in education, training, and labor.
These are all fields where Japan possesses strengths and experience, while Vietnam has needs and huge potential for cooperation. Therefore, both sides will prioritize promoting these areas in the coming period. In addition, locality-to-locality cooperation and people-to-people exchanges continue to be prominent highlights in bilateral relations.
Over half a century of cultivation has built a resilient relationship based on trust and deep affection. This visit demonstrates mutual respect and the determination to bring bilateral relations further. With Vietnam undergoing strong transformations and Japan serving as a reliable friend and partner, the visit is expected to turn the concrete implementation of high-level agreements and commitments into practical cooperation programs and projects across a variety of aspects. Thereby, it will make positive contributions to achieving each country's development targets, as well as to peace, cooperation, and development in the region and the world.
