Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio always attaches importance to the Japan-Vietnam relations, Foreign Press Secretary Ono Hikariko said while chairing a virtual press conference on May 1 announcing the initial results of the Japanese PM’s on-going official visit to Vietnam.
Vietnam will maintain its close cooperation with Japan and the Mekong countries to make the Japan-Mekong cooperation mechanism more successful in order to meet each country’s aspirations and contribute to the peace and prosperity of the region, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has said.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc received President of the Japan-Mekong Parliamentary Friendship Association Ryu Shionoya in Hanoi on July 27, asking him to encourage Japan to enhance ties with Vietnam, thereby helping the Greater Mekong Subregion countries to develop sustainably.
