Former Ambassador Hiroshi Fukada said he is supporting Japanese businesses to seek cooperation opportunities in Vietnam, including WNI Company - a unit providing rain forecasting services for natural disaster prevention.

WNI representative informed that this is a system for monitoring and forecasting rainfall, erratic weather changes, and warning of natural disasters based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology. From there, it supports localities to respond promptly and take measures to mitigate risks caused by natural disasters.
