Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Tran Van Tung has spoken highly of Japan’s initiative to send experts to Vietnam to help boost its socio-economic development process.

Deputy Minister Tung made the remark on October 1 whilst receiving Japan’s former Minister of State for Science and Technology Policy Iwao Matsuda, who proposed sending Japanese senior experts and engineers to assist Vietnam’s science and technology.

He shared with the guest that the Vietnamese Government issued a decree on attracting overseas Vietnamese and foreigners to participate in scientific and technological activities in Vietnam.

Vietnam is in high demand for experts who are experienced in science, technology and post-harvest processing to help raise added value in agriculture and boost the development of support industry.

For his part, Iwao Matsuda, who is also Vice Chairman of the Japan-Vietnam Parliamentary Friendship Association, vowed to study and build a proper programme in line with Vietnam’s needs in order to further strengthen bilateral cooperation in science and technology.

Earlier, the guest met President Truong Tan Sang and Hoang Van Phong, Chairman of the National Council for Science and Technology Policy.-VNA
