The evolving global landscape has prompted these countries to enhance their ties in diplomacy, security, trade, and technology, aiming for mutual prosperity and regional stability.
Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu emphasized Japan’s commitment to working alongside Vietnam to forge a future marked by shared strength and prosperity. This sentiment was conveyed in a message celebrating Vietnam’s 81st National Day, highlighting the importance of the bilateral relationship. Meanwhile, Japanese Finance Minister Katayama Satsuki noted that the relations between the two countries have reached a new phase, with promising opportunities in sectors such as finance, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, critical minerals, and energy.
