Delegation visit to boost Japan links

A delegation from the Communist Party of Viet Nam Central Committee's Economic Commission led by its head, Vuong Dinh Hue, is on a six-day visit to Japan to strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries.

The visit is part of efforts to exchange experience with Japanese ministries, sectors and research institutes on the building and implementation of the "Abe-nomics" economic model - launched by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe - through currency, fiscal and economic growth policies.


During the visit, from August 5-10, the Vietnamese delegation will work with Japanese officials, including vice-president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, Masahiko Komura; and chairman of the Lower House's Budget Committee and chairman of the Japan-Viet Nam Friendship Parliamentarian Alliance, Toshihiro Nakai.

The Japanese said they were keen to help develop the maritime economy, automobile and manufacturing industries, agro-forestry-seafood production and processing chains, as well as expanding investment in finance and banking.

Japan also pledged to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises to expand investment abroad and facilitate connectivity between businesses through apprentice exchanges.

The Vietnamese will visit Kanagawa and Fukuoka to explore collaboration opportunities and the operation of local multinational groups, including Nissan Motor, Sumimoto and Sozitsu.
