During his stay in Japan, Hung had some exchanges with the Vietnam-Japan Friendship Association in Fukushima and Ibaraki and Vietnamese students in Sendai and Miyagi. Japanese officials said that mutual understanding and friendship between the governments and peoples of the two countries would take Vietnamese – Japanese relations to a whole new level.
