Phuc informed his host that during his visit, he met with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and will meet the Speaker of the House of Representatives as well as several senior government officials to discuss measures to enhance the strategic partnership between the two countries.
He also praised Japan for providing the highest ever amount of Official Development Assistance (ODA) to Vietnam in the 2011 fiscal year, as well as JICA’s role as coordinator of the Japanese government’s ODA provision to Vietnam .
Vietnam will use the Japanese ODA in the most effective way, he said.
The Deputy PM asked the Japanese Government to continue maintaining and increasing ODA to Vietnam, especially at a time when both countries have been carrying out major infrastructure projects.
He also said he hoped that Japan will increase its ODA to effective programmes, including poverty reduction and responding to climate change.
Phuc stressed one of the priority tasks for Vietnam in the future is to implement the strategy on judicial reforms until 2020. Therefore, Vietnam wants to learn from Japan’s experiences in reforming its legal and justice system and Phuc added that he hoped both countries will step up cooperation in the field.
