President Truong Tan Sang on March 12 appreciated the Japan–Vietnam Friendship Parliamentarian Alliance’s contributions to the development of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
At a meeting in Hanoi with Takebe Tsutomu, former president of the alliance, Sang said he hopes that the Japanese guest, who is now the alliance’s senior adviser, continues contributing to the bilateral ties.
Vietnam and Japan still have potential for cooperation in many fields, he said, adding that Takebe’s visit, which coincides with the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries in 2013, is also a chance for the two sides to review and enhance diplomatic relationship to a higher level.
