The Prime Minister has stressed Vietnam’s wish to further promote cooperation with Japan, the country’s top partner, in the spirit of strategic partnership for mutual benefits.
At a reception given to former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and the Japanese parliamentarian delegation in Hanoi Monday, PM Dung proposed both countries exert joint efforts to expand trade and investment activities to match with their potential.
He also proposed the Japanese parliament soon recognise Vietnam as a nation with a market economy and facilitate Vietnam ’s agricultural products entering Japan ’s market.
The PM said he hoped Japan would increase its official development assistance (ODA) capital for Vietnam ’s infrastructure projects.
Vietnam was ready to cooperate with Japan under the public-private partnership (PPP) model in implementing the Lach Huyen port construction project in the northern port city of Hai Phong, the North-South highway project, the Long Thanh airport project and others, said PM Dung.
He also hoped that the Japanese Government would help Vietnam build a high-quality university in the Mekong delta region.
The visit by Hatoyama and the Japanese parliamentarians delegation and the upcoming visit by PM Naoto Kan for the East Asia Summit in Vietnam would bring the two countries’ relationship to a new development level, he said.
Hatoyama sent his sympathy to the families of the victims in Vietnam ’s central flood-hit region.
He said Japan was willing to support Vietnam in human resource training, finance, and atomic nuclear technology transfer as well as to promote defence cooperation with Vietnam to increase security and maintain peace in northeast Asia .
Japan was ready to receive Vietnamese nurses to work in the country, Hatoyama said.
He also expressed his interest in the Lach Huyen port construction project in Hai Phong and the North-South highway project.
At a reception given by Truong Tan Sang, Politburo member and member of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee’s Secretariat, on the same day, Hatoyama said he was happy to witness Vietnam ’s renewal achievements over the past 25 years.
He highly valued the comprehensive development of the Japan-Vietnam relationship.
Japan attaches importance to developing the strategic partnership for peace and prosperity in Asia and deep and sustainable relationship with Vietnam , especially the implementation of large cooperation projects, said Hatoyama.
The Politburo member hailed the current working visit to Vietnam by the Japanese parliamentarian delegation and highlighted the effective support and assistance of the Japanese Government, National Assembly and people to Vietnam over the past year
