At the yesterday`s meeting with visiting Vietnamese Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung in Tokyo, Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida made the remark that about 1,600 Japanese firms are operating in Vietnam as a result of the country’s efforts to improve investment climate.



 
Highlighting that the Vietnam – Japan relationship is at its best ever, Kishida asked the Vietnamese side to continue helping Japanese investors by removing outstanding obstacles and difficulties.

Agreeing with his host on the development of bilateral ties, Minister Dung stressed that the changing global situation is creating challenges along with opportunities for both nations.
