Hung praised the JVPF for organising a charity concert to raise funds for Japanese disaster victims and inviting the Vietnamese Lotus Dance Troupe to perform in northeastern Japan last October.
He also said he hopes the JVPF will work closely with the Vietnamese side to celebrate the 40 th anniversary of Vietnam – Japan diplomatic ties by 2013.
JVPF President Jomiichi Murayama said he believes Vietnam will strongly develop and become a key ASEAN member, adding that the close relations between the two countries will not only bring mutual benefits but also contribute to peace, development and prosperity in the region.
Murayama added that he will lead a group of 30 students from Meiji University to Hanoi to perform in a September concert this year.
