Mr. Son and Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa agreed to enhance coordination to implement the agreements reached between the Prime Ministers of the two countries at their meeting last Saturday, including Japan’s provision of new-generation ODA and support for Vietnam in socio-economic development and green transition.
The two countries will step up mutual visits, boost post-pandemic cooperation, and increase cultural, people-to-people, locality-to-locality, and tourism exchanges to mark 50 years of diplomatic ties in 2023.
