A Vietnam-Japan information and communications technology (ICT) forum was held on January 15 in Hanoi gathering the participation of hundreds of delegates from both nations.

In a keynote address, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Thanh Hung said that Vietnam-Japan cooperative relations have been elevated to that of an equal and strategic partnership. 
Since the formation of the partnership, cooperation has been enhanced at all levels of state government and links amongst business enterprises has been strengthened on a host of fronts.  In addition, Hung said Vietnam-Japan joint venture projects have had widespread success.
