The two sides agreed to continue boosting cooperation in trade, investment, and human resources development while promoting experience sharing and technology transfer in agriculture.

Tsutomu said 1,000 parliament and government officials and representatives of enterprises from Japan led by Secretary General of the Liberal Democratic Party and Chairman of the Japan-Vietnam Friendship Parliamentary Alliance Nikai Toshihiro will visit Vietnam next January. They will meet with Vietnamese Government and National Assembly agencies and the Vietnamese business community in Da Nang to tighten relations between the two countries, he said. Tsutomu expressed his wish that the Vietnamese Government will create conditions to promote the Vietnam-Japan University construction project, thus contributing to enhancing bilateral cooperation in education and training.

Deputy PM Hue said Vietnam welcomes the upcoming Japanese visit, noting that the Vietnamese Government wants the university project to be a symbol of Vietnam-Japan education cooperation.
