The Japanese company has supported the province to build a rehabilitation hospital and a center for training human resources in the health sector. 

It also helped the Ha Giang vocational college carry out a training program in automobile technology and veterinary. 

The two sides have implemented cooperation programs to develop hi-tech agriculture and tourism. 

President of the company Murooka Katsunori said in the third quarter of 2017, his firm is stepping up coordination with the province to start the construction of the Japan-Vietnam joint venture rehabilitation hospital. 

In addition to completing the cherry park project in Quan Ba district, the two sides have launched a center of testing and piloting plant varieties in association with processing products for exports to Japan. 

The company will promote the strengths of Ha Giang in Japan and dispatch business organizations to explore the local investment environment, Murooka Katsunori said. 

According to Son, local authorities have granted investment license and business registration certificate for the company. 

The provincial People’s Committee pledged to direct relevant agencies to promptly address difficulties for businesses to ensure the progress of investment projects, he said. 

He expressed his belief that with the effective bilateral cooperation, the Japan-Vietnam rehabilitation hospital in Vi Xuyen district and the cherry park in Quan Ba district will open up huge opportunities to serve Japanese tourists to the northernmost province.
