Vietnam values strategic partnership with Japan
VOV.VN - Vietnam treasures the extensive strategic partnership with Japan and considers the country as its top long-term partner, President Tran Dai Quang has said.
He spoke highly of the strong development of the Vietnam-Japan relationship in all fields, particularly in politics, security-defence, economy, cooperation among localities and people-to-people exchange, saying that the official visit to Vietnam by PM Shinzo Abe and the first State visit by the Japanese Emperor and Empress in March 2017 created a new momentum for bilateral relations in the future.
Vietnam also welcomes Japanese businesses to expand investments in the country, especially in the fields of infrastructure, high technology, supporting industry and climate change adaptation, Quang told his guest.
Oshima Tadamori told Quang that after returning home, he will introduce Vietnam’s potential to Japanese businesses, adding that he expects Vietnam to create favorable conditions in legal procedures and investment climate for Japanese businesses to invest in Vietnam.
He said that many Japanese enterprises and investors wish to seek investment and business opportunities in Vietnam, adding that Vietnam’s determination to reform administrative procedures and improve its investment environment is an important factor in attracting more Japanese firms.
He urged Vietnam and Japan to increase their coordination in regional mechanisms such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum, and affirmed his nation’s support for Vietnam in hosting the APEC Year 2017.
