According to Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Pham Quang Hieu, during this visit, the leaders of the two countries will focus on in-depth discussions on strategic cooperation areas. Japan continues to support and assist Vietnam in implementing three strategic breakthroughs in institutions, infrastructure and human resources, helping Vietnam industrialize and modernize. In particular, economic-trade-investment cooperation is the most important pillar in bilateral relations.
Japan is currently Vietnam's leading economic partner, therefore, issues such as improving the investment environment, promoting supply chains, and expanding markets for each other's goods will be focused on.
The two sides strive to soon open the market for Vietnamese grapefruit and Japanese grapes; at the same time, they discuss the possibility of continuing to open the market for other fruits and agricultural products of the two sides such as Vietnamese passion fruit and Japanese peaches...
Besides, the two sides will discuss new pillars in the cooperation between the two countries to suit the new situation.
