President Phuc affirmed that Japan is Vietnam’s extensive strategic partner for peace, and Vietnam always attaches importance to the relations across sectors. He said he hoped that Japan will continue promoting exchanges between people of the two countries, especially young generations, and deepening cooperation between localities.
Collaboration in labour, education, tourism and people-to-people exchanges should be further facilitated. He suggested Japan help Vietnam in green economy transition and accessing the aid package worth 10 billion USD committed by Suga at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in the UK.
Suga expressed his hope that Vietnam and Japan will step up people-to-people exchanges to create a foundation for stronger cooperation in other fields, saying more Japanese localities want to cooperate with their Vietnamese counterparts in various spheres, including clean energy and renewable energy projects.
