Minh expressed his emotion that Yamanashi is the first locality of Japan to send officials to the Vietnamese Embassy to share and assist Vietnam to overcome the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi. He also took this occasion to thank the governor and hoped that Kotaro will continue support for the Vietnamese community in the prefecture.

For his part, Kotaro said he wants to share with Vietnam's difficulties and convey the heartfelt sentiments of the Yamanashi people towards Vietnamese citizens who have been affected by the typhoon.

Vietnam and Yamanashi have enjoyed a sound friendship over the past time. Earlier this month, the northern mountainous province of Yen Bai and the Japanese prefecture signed a frame agreement to carry out cooperation activities between the two sides.
