Trust is Key Asset Underpinning Vietnam-Japan Ties: Ambassador

Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Ito Naoki emphasized that the trust between the peoples and governments of Vietnam and Japan has reached a very high level. He described this trust as the most significant achievement and a valuable asset, which will enable younger generations to work together to build a better future. Both nations have agreed to strengthen cooperation in the fields of science, technology, and digital transformation. This aligns with Vietnam's economic growth strategy and Japan's focus on technological innovation, deepening the synergy between their development goals. Furthermore, through platforms like the Vietnam-Japan Local Cooperation Forum, both countries reaffirmed the importance of translating strategic commitments into concrete actions. This initiative aims to foster practical exchanges and economic partnerships at the local level, strengthening people-to-people ties beyond central government agreements. Vietnam and Japan have maintained and developed a strategic partnership for many years. Especially amidst rising geopolitical tensions, a strong relationship with Japan is increasingly crucial for Vietnam, both economically and in terms of security. This foundation of trust is an indispensable element for Vietnam as it continues its economic growth and solidifies its position in the international community.
