The two sides also discussed the LDP's experience in devising solutions to social security issues such as coping with aging population and declining birthrate in Japan, and ways to enhance the contribution of the Vietnamese community in the host country.
For his part, Suzuki spoke highly of contributions of the Vietnamese community to the socio-economic development in Japan, not only in recent years but also in the medium and long term, especially in the context of Japan's labor shortage in various fields.
More Japanese enterprises are choosing Vietnam as an investment destination, he said, also noting the development trend of Vietnamese enterprises in Japan. Therefore, it is necessary for the two Parties and governments of the two countries to strengthen coordination in both policy making and promoting people-to-people exchanges, Suzuki said.
The Vietnamese Party delegation also visited the JCP’s headquarters and held working session with JCP's International Peace Movement Committee to exchange research and experiences in grasping the needs and aspirations of the people as well as promoting collaboration between the two parties in cultural, ethnic and religious affairs.
At the delegation's working session with the embassy, Vinh appreciated the establishment of a union of Vietnamese association in Japan, saying it has become an umbrella organization that helps strengthen the solidarity of the Vietnamese community in Japan. He also underlined that mass mobilization work for overseas Vietnamese should focus on creating a favorable environment for Vietnamese people in Japan to access positive information, clearly understand the policies of the Party and State, strictly comply with local regulations, unite and support each other, especially in difficult circumstances.
The number of Vietnamese people in Japan topped 560,000 as of March 22, according to the Japanese Ministry of Justice. Vietnamese continued to be the second biggest foreign community in Japan after China.
