At the meetings, Thang spoke highly of Japan’s effective cooperation with and assistance to Vietnam in various fields, and asked Japan to continue helping Vietnam in technology transfer, especially in high-tech agriculture development and human resources training.

Meanwhile, the Japanese officials affirmed that the Japan-Vietnam relations have been thriving and expressed their hope to bolster the strategic partnership in all fields for peace and prosperity in Asia.

Regarding the East Sea (South China Sea) issues, they affirmed support for Vietnam’s stance on resolving disputes in the East Sea through peaceful measures in line with international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to ensure safety and freedom of aviation and navigation in the region.

The CPV delegation also paid a visit to Kyoto and met with Kazutoshi Watanabe, Secretary of the Kyoto Party Committee, to study activities and party building in the Japanese city.
