Vietnam - Japanese relations to climb the heights

Vietnamese ambassador in Japan Doan Xuan Hung expects the Vietnam-Japan Meeting 2012 slated to take place in Japan from September 13-17 to beef up strategic partnership relations to a level commensurate with each country’s potential.

The Vietnam-Japan Meeting 2012 hosted by the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry will be the largest ever event to promote Vietnamese nation and people in Japan. How was the idea of hosting such an event perceived?

The bilateral trade relationships between two countries have been developing robustly. The Japanese government, business community and people have paid constant attention to searching investment and tourism opportunities in Vietnam. Hence, coming up with national-level promotion activities in Japan brings a strong message reflecting our desire to foster far-reaching bilateral cooperation in diverse areas, particularly in economic fields aimed at enhancing connectivity with Japanese corporate community and people.

From 2008 until present, the Vietnamese embassy in Japan has teamed up with Japanese counterparts to host annual event Vietnamese Festival at Yoyogi Park (Tokyo) which entailed resound success and attracted over 100,000 natives and overseas Vietnamese in Japan each time. This year, several state agencies and local governments mulled arranging specific investment, trade and tourism promotion activities in Japan. The Foreign Ministry then decided to combine these activities to the Vietnam Festival to a single Vietnam-Japan Meeting 2012 with aims to scaling up mutual relations.

What message does Vietnam want to deliver though the activity?

The event will consist of four parts. Investment promotion forum into Vietnam’s industrial zones and economic zones, focusing on supporting industries, music and song performance combined with a paintings exhibition under the theme ‘Vietnam-endless beauty’, Vietnam-Japan cooperative meeting on vocational training and human resources development and Vietnam Festival 2012.

Each part will be a red hall in the overall authentic picture about Vietnam we want to deliver to Japanese friends.

Through the event, we want to forward the message Vietnam treasures building up strategic comprehensive partnership relations with Japan to commensurate both countries’ potential, increasing investment in Japan’s advantageous areas in which Vietnam wants to expand cooperation, fostering cooperating in vocational and human resources training, simultaneously promoting the image of Vietnamese land and people in Japan, paving the way to celebrate 40-year establishment of diplomatic ties between our two countries.

Have any difficulties been faced?

The Vietnam-Japan Meeting 2012 is a national-level investment promotion activity, the first of its kind to take place in Japan. Thereby, difficulties relevant to organising activities are real. Besides, the Vietnamese embassy has never hosted such a big event. We, however, believe the event will end with success with our strong determination, close cooperation at home and abroad and particularly active support from Japanese friends.
