She proposed Takebe pay attention to boosting cooperation between localities in the two countries in the fields of investment, trade, tourism and labour.

Reiterating the importance of cooperation in human resources training, she proposed Takebe encourage Japanese businesses and organisations to continue support for the Vietnam-Japan University to improve its quality.
Regarding this issue, Takebe stated that the Vietnam-Japan University plans to establish a centre for human resources development to contribute more to bilateral cooperation in training high-quality human resources, and to enhancing mutual understanding between the two peoples.
He affirmed that in his position he will work to foster cooperation between the Japan - Vietnam Friendship Parliamentary Alliance and the Vietnam-Japan Friendship Parliamentarians’ Group to develop relations between the two countries more substantively and effectively./.
