The newly-established government of Japan will further step up its relations with Vietnam, said the Japanese Cabinet Secretary for Public Relations, Hiroshi Ogawa.
Ogawa made the remarks while receiving a delegation from the Vietnam News Agency (VNA), led by its Deputy General Director Ha Minh Hue, in Tokyo on Oct. 21.
The official said the friendly ties between the two countries will continue to develop and the new government, led by the Democratic Party of Japan, will further carry out infrastructure development projects in Vietnam .
Hue talked to his host about the traditional cooperation between VNA and the Kyodo News Agency as well as the results of his delegation’s visit to Japan.
VNA and Kyodo have already signed an agreement to exchange information about their countries’ socio-economic development, he said, adding that the relations between the two news agencies and their reporters’ activities have contributed to enhancing the relationship and mutual understanding between the Vietnamese and Japanese people.
Hue revealed that the Japanese version of VNA’s online Vietnam Pictorial has seen a large number of visitors, including Japanese readers, thereby also helping to increase mutual understanding between the two nations.
On the same day, the VNA delegation was received by Japanese Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Shuji Kira, who expressed delight at the constant development of the time-honoured VNA-Kyodo cooperation as well as the Vietnam-Japan relations of friendship and cooperation.
For his part, Deputy General Director Hue pledged to tighten VNA’s collaboration with Kyodo to beef up the relationship between the two countries.
During his talks with Kyodo President Satoshi Ishikawa on Oct. 19, Hue and Ishikawa agreed to increase joint efforts in information, noting that such efforts will help the two news agencies weather challenges posed by the global financial crisis and make the best of information technology.
The officials shared experiences in developing and marketing multimedia products and promised to ramp up cooperation in personnel training.
Hue conveyed VNA General Director Tran Mai Huong’s invitation to the Kyodo President to visit Vietnam.
While in Japan, the VNA delegates met with President and CEO of the daily newspaper Nikkei Tsuneo Kita and Vice President of the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) Yoshinori Imai.
They also paid a visit to Hiroshima - one of two Japanese cities heavily destroyed by atomic bombs dropped by the US 64 years ago./.
