Deputy PM Nhan made the statement while talking with Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada in Tokyo on May 21.
He thanked the Japanese Government for its commitment to provide ODA to Vietnam and cooperation with the latter in carrying out the North-South express railway and highway projects, the Hoa Lac hi-tech park project and other big projects.
The Deputy PM also thanked the Japanese Foreign Ministry for its help to examine a feasibility study of the Vietnam space centre construction project, proposing that the Japanese Government continue assisting the country in implementing this significant project.
FM Okada expressed his belief in the fast and effective development in the two countries’ economic, investment and trade ties thanks to the active implementation of the Vietnam-Japan economic partnership agreement (VJEPA) that became effective in October 2009.
He confirmed that he would monitor and promote big projects that the two governments have agreed in order to match with the two peoples’ aspirations.
In another meeting with the Minister of State for National Strategy Yoshito Sengoku the same day, Deputy PM Nhan congratulated Japan on its successful launch of Akatsuki probe to explore the Venus.
