Fujimoto and Hyodo expressed their delight at the recent upgrade of the two countries’ relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership for peace and prosperity in Asia and the world.

At the meeting, the Keidanren chairmen and Japanese enterprises highlighted their intention to expand business and investment activities in Vietnam. They also mentioned cooperation in training high-quality human resources and noted that they hope administrative procedures and the investment climate will be further improved.

Chairman Hue lauded Keidanren’s cooperation and contributions, along with the two chairmen and Japanese enterprises’ role in promoting the two countries’ relations and Japanese investment in Vietnam.

Vietnam always attaches importance to and supports Japanese enterprises to make investment, do business, and give proposals on policies, administrative procedure reform, and investment climate improvement in the Southeast Asian nation, he stated.

Hue asked the Japan - Vietnam Economic Committee as well as Keidanren to continue coordinating with Vietnamese agencies to increase policy dialogue, share information and experience to help better the local investment climate, and serve as a bridge for Japanese firms to invest more in Vietnam.
