He pledged to work closely with the local authorities to promote cooperation between Kawakami and Vietnam’s localities, enterprises and education establishments, not only in the exchange of trainees and students, but also in technology transfer, and experience sharing in producing, preserving and marketing farm products.
He said he is determined to bring Kawakami’s specific agricultural model to some Vietnamese localities as soon as possible.
