The trip aims to further strengthen the extensive strategic partnership with Japan, especially in the fields of economy, labor, agriculture; boost ties with Fukuoka prefecture, thereby reinforcing links between the two countries’ localities and businesses and attracting Japanese investment in Vietnam.

The GWS, scheduled for May 11-15, takes the theme “Beyond Womenomics: Accelerating Access” which focuses discussions on speeding up women’s ascent to business leadership, scaling up the growth of women-owned enterprises, opening up the global market to women in business, moving more women into technology industries and fostering support policies for women.

As many as 50 Vietnamese female executives will attend the event, many of whom are partners of Japan in diverse areas.
