Osaka, HCM City youths enhance friendship cooperation

At the reception, Osamu Kitamoto, a representative from Osaka’s department of culture and citizen, highlighted the importance of youth connections between the two localities in boosting bilateral relations across fields, such as economy, trade, culture and education. 

He suggested more support and facilitation from Ho Chi Minh City’s authorities for stronger cooperation and friendship exchanges between the two localities’ youths, thus bolstering the traditional friendship between the Vietnamese and Japanese people. 

In turn, Vice Chairwoman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Thi Thu said the youth of Ho Chi Minh City and Japan’s Osaka prefecture should promote friendship cooperation in cultural exchanges and science-technology, thus further strengthening relations between the two localities.
