“Japan is honored to contribute to Vietnam's development as the country enters a new era under the leadership of Party General Secretary To Lam,” he said.

He expressed his hope that, through the young leaders and the program's alumni network, the Japan-Vietnam relationship will be further strengthened.

The JDS (Japanese Development Scholarship) program supports young administrative officials, expected to play key roles in Vietnam's Government, in pursuing master's and doctoral studies at Japanese universities.

This aims to address Vietnam’s developmental challenges and enhance bilateral relations through the program's alumni network.

Since its inception in 2001, the program has welcomed more than 800 young Vietnamese administrative officials to study in Japan.
