President Sang meets with Japanese friends

He made it clear that Vietnam always regards Japan as one of the key partners in its external relations.
Meeting with President of the Nikkei Group Tsuneo Kita, Sang hailed the news agency for covering Vietnamese news and promoting the bilateral cooperation among Japanese people.

Kita said as Japan’s leading media group, Nikkei will continue providing helpful and timely information about Vietnam’s business climate for Japanese enterprises.

Receiving and presenting Chief Justice of the Japanese Supreme Court Takesaki Hironobu with a Friendship Order on the afternoon of the same day, Sang said Vietnam pays due attention to law and judicial cooperation with Japan.

Hironobu noted that the Supreme Court of Japan will contribute more to the Vietnamese and Japanese ties, especially in judicial reform.

At a reception for Governor of Aichi prefecture Hideaki Omura, the Vietnamese leader expressed his satisfaction with expansive Vietnamese ties with Aichi and the Chyubu region, reflecting the impetus of the two countries’ links across many areas.

Vietnam hopes that Aichi will welcome and provide more support to Vietnamese students and graduates. It is currently home to the largest number of Vietnamese students from ASEAN enrolments.

Omura said that the two sides will build on their current strength – including a direct Aichi – Vietnam air route – to further ramp up cooperation.

Also the same day, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat held a working session with Japanese Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Hayashi Yoshimasa. Transport Minister Dinh La Thang and Deputy Health Minister Pham Le Tuan also worked with their Japanese counterparts to discuss building stronger connections in relevant fields.
