Vietnamese PM meets visiting governor of Japanese Kagoshima prefecture

Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh received visiting Governor of Japan’s Kagoshima prefecture Shiota Koichi in Hanoi on Monday.

The Prime Minister said the extensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Japan is developing fruitfully and comprehensively, with their political trust increasingly strengthened.

Speaking highly of Kagoshima’s supportive policies and favorable conditions created for the community of over 5,000 Vietnamese expatriates, the Prime Minister expressed his belief that there are ample complementary strengths and potential for collaboration between Kagoshima – Japan’s leading agro-fishery production locality – and many localities of Vietnam.

Agreeing with the Prime Minister’s proposals, the governor stated that the prefecture wants to further cooperate with Vietnam in manufacturing, agriculture, seafood processing, tourism, and the exchange of students and apprentices. He also wished to establish a direct flight route from Kagoshima to Vietnam.
