The PM made that statement at his meeting with Chairman of the Japan-Viet Nam Friendship Parliamentary Alliance and Secretary General of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan Toshihiro Nikai on October 8 in Tokyo, Japan.

The PM expressed his delight at the development of Viet Nam-Japan relationship, including the relations between the two legislative bodies.

He proposed the alliance speed up the simplification of visa procedures for Vietnamese tourists to Japan, thus facilitating people-to-people exchange between the two countries.

The alliance will continue making efforts to promote the extensive strategic partnership between Japan and Viet Nam, confirmed Mr. Toshihiro Nikai and members of the alliance.

They hoped that Viet Nam would be one of the first six member countries to ratify the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) to bring benefits for both sides.

They expected that the Vietnamese Government will facilitate the Viet Nam-Japan University project to become a symbol of the two countries’ relations.
