Viet Nam expects to enhance ties with Japan
The Government chief spoke highly the outcomes of the talks between Deputy PM, FM Pham Binh Minh and the Japanese FM and the 6th meeting of the Viet Nam-Japan Cooperation Committee held earlier on the same days.
PM Dung suggested that the two countries beef up cooperation in various areas, ranging from trade and investment to national defense and security.
He hoped that Japan would continue supporting Viet Nam’s development process, including official development assistance (ODA). Viet Nam pledges to coordinate closely with the Japanese side for effective use and management of the ODA capital.
Viet Nam will also coordinate closely with the Japanese side to put the Viet Nam-Japan University project – a symbol of the bilateral cooperation – into operation soon.
PM Dung thanked Japan for providing six used vessels for Viet Nam to help improve the Southeast Asian country’s maritime law enforcement capacity.
Japan’s top diplomat said his country will continue advocating the realization of Viet Nam’s industrialization strategy, providing ODA, and advocating the enhancement of the maritime law enforcement capacity.
The Japanese FM affirmed that Japan commits to maintaining peace, stability, freedom, security and safety of navigation in the East Sea, saying it is the common responsibility and interest of the international community.
Relevant parties need to settle all issues on the basis of international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, strictly observe the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) and work towards the conclusion of the Code of Conduct without taking actions that further complicate the situation./.
