Receiving the special advisor in Hanoi on Friday, Chairman Hue praised Vietnam-Japan University project under Vietnam National University in Hanoi and welcomed the Japanese Ministry of Justice's reform of the Regulation on Vietnamese trainees in Japan. He said he hopes the two countries will continue to work together to improve this cooperation mechanism and further labor cooperation in the future.

Takebe Tsutomu thanked the National Assembly Chairman for his role in removing obstacles facing the University project. He said that Japan is trying to collate the educational backgrounds of the two countries so that Vietnamese workers can come to Japan for work after finishing junior high school. If they work there for 5 years, they can get a vocational college degree, he said.
