A “Vietnam Day” was organised for the first time in Japan’s Nagasaki
prefecture on June 25, with the aim to further the Vietnam-Japan
strategic partnership in the fields of trade, investment and culture.
Present at the event were Vietnamese Ambassador
to Japan Doan Xuan Hung, several Vietnamese Deputy Ministers, and
Japanese Vice Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology Tomioka, among others.
Addressing the
event, Nagasaki prefecture Governor Nakamura Hogo said that the
“Vietnam Day in Nagasaki” will give people in Nagasaki and surrounding
areas a valuable opportunity to learn about Vietnam and its business and
investment environment and boost trade activities with Vietnamese
partners.
Within the framework of the event,
several seminars were held on the economic and trade ties between
Vietnam and Nagasaki, the investment and business environment in the
central Vietnamese province of Quang Nam as well as Vietnamese human
resources.
Vietnamese students in Nagasaki prefecture also conducted art performances during the event.
Nagasaki has set up its ties with Vietnam since the 17th century.
The prefecture’s strength in aquatic products, processed farm produce,
handicrafts, mechanical industry and electronic equipment is suitable
for the cooperation direction between the two countries in the time
ahead.-VNA
