The province has adopted hi-tech and urban farming models which have yielded good initial results, he revealed.
The host hoped that Takebe, with his high-profile political role and personal prestige, will help further promote cooperation between Vietnam and Japan.
Takebe, said while riding on a Becamex Tokyu bus, he is delighted at the positive transformation of the province.
As advisor to the Tokyu Corporation’s research centre, Takebe suggested that Binh Duong’s public transport should connect with adjancent localities, especially Ho Chi Minh City.
With his experience as former Japanese Minister of Agriculture, Takebe also shared Japan’s know-how to develop urban farming models that suit realities.-VNA
