Vietnam is doubling its efforts to become a developed country this century in accordance with the resolution of the 13th National Congress of the CPV, she said, reiterating Vietnam’s consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, friendship, cooperation and development, and diversification and multilateralization of external relations.

Vietnam particularly attaches importance to its strategic partnership with Japan, she emphasized.

Mai appreciated JBIC’s support for Vietnam, saying the bank has pushed many Japanese projects in Vietnam, including major infrastructure projects in power, oil and gas.

She suggested the bank step up cooperation with Vietnamese governmental organizations by contributing ideas for the finalization of a regulatory framework on Public-Private Partnership (PPP), proposing projects potentially suitable for the PPP model, and expanding provision of credit for Vietnamese enterprises and Vietnam-Japan joint ventures.

Maeda Tadashi, for his part, spoke highly of Vietnam’s successful COVID-19 containment and updated his host on the bank’s performance in Vietnam.

He said the bank hopes to further contribute to enhancing Vietnam-Japan relations.
