Vietnam highly values and vows to effectively use Japan’s official development assistance (ODA), National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung told a senior Japanese legislator.
He appreciated Japan’s support for Vietnam at international forums, and hoped the parliamentary friendship groups of both countries will maintain visit exchanges to share experience and boost cooperation.
The NA chief also proposed that Vietnam and Japan expand cooperation in culture, education, security and national defence, alongside economics.
For his part, Toshihiro Nikai, who is also president of the Japan-Vietnam Parliamentary Friendship Group, acknowledged the quality of Nhat Tan Bridge and other Japanese-funded projects in Vietnam, saying their success will help promote bilateral economic cooperation.
He said the two countries need to work closely to move Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement negotiations forward, while increasing cooperation in preventing natural disasters.
