Vietnamese, Japanese young lawmakers meet in Hanoi

At the meeting, Chairman of the Group of Vietnam’s Young National Assembly Deputies Le Quoc Phong said the regular organisation of exchange activities between the two legislative bodies will help young people from both nations get their better understanding of Vietnam-Japan sound relations, thus helping develop the bilateral ties in the future.

The event gave a good chance to the Vietnamese and Japanese young parliamentarians to show friendship and raise their responsibilities for important issues in their nations as well as in the Asian-Pacific region, he said.

Keisuke Suzuki, head of the Youth Division of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party, said through the event, the two sides shared common challenges in environment, finance, technology, urban and rural connectivity in the development process. 

Participants suggested creating more favourable conditions for youths to enhance their participation in political affairs and empowering youngsters and women to engage in political activities.

They expressed hope to contribute their voice to the Government’s policy making in education and career orientation.

This is the third time the Youth Division of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party has toured Vietnam after their trips in 2013 and 2014.
