Hanoi (VNA)🌠 – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc met Japanese Ambassador Fukada Hiroshi – the first guest of the new government, during a reception in Hanoi on April 9.
The PM informed his guest that the Vietnamese National Assembly approved the appointment of 21 Cabinet members, in the morning of the same day.
He assured the ambassador that he and his cabinet members will attend the extended G7 Summit in Japan this May at the invitation of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and hoped that during the event, Japan will hold bilateral meetings with Vietnam to extensively discuss ways to boost the Vietnam – Japan strategic partnership.
On the occasion, he also called for increased dialogues and mutual support at regional and global forums for the sake of peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and the world.
The ambassador wished that the Vietnamese and Japanese PMs will hold talks to strengthen economic ties on the sidelines of the expanded G7 event.
Sharing sympathy with the Vietnamese government and people over the serious impacts of disasters, especially serious saltwater intrusion in the central, Central Highlands and Mekong Delta regions, Ambassador Fukada Hiroshi said the Japanese government wants to help Vietnam improve its capacity for dealing with such weather phenomena.
Japan is also keen on promoting joint work with Vietnam in improving public administration management and the business climate, he said, adding that both sides are preparing for an investment promotion forum in Hanoi.-VNA
Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Fukada Hiroshi has granted an interview to the press on the occasion of the upcoming visit to Japan by Vietnam Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
Politburo member To Huy Rua appreciated the contributions made by Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Fukada Hiroshi to the success of the Party General Secretary’s recent official visit to Japan.
Vietnam always regards the RoK as an important and long-term strategic partner; and hopes that the two sides will work together to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in a more substantive, effective, and comprehensive manner in the coming time.
Within the framework of the Vietnam-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, people-to-people exchanges and local cooperation have been priorities.
The merger of Nam Dinh, Ha Nam, and Ninh Binh aims to shape a modern, vibrant development space with Ninh Binh at its heart, transforming the region into a hub of smart and green industry and services by 2030, while preserving its unique identity as a national heritage centre.
While praising the efforts of ministries, sectors, and localities in tackling smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeiting, and intellectual property violations, PM Chinh acknowledged that in some places and at certain times, there has been lax enforcement and unclear jurisdiction, leading to increasingly complex developments in these issues.
At the working session, General Secretary Lam presented the Party Committee of the VFF and central mass organisations with the Politburo’s Decision No. 304-QD/TW, which outlines the new structure, functions and tasks of the VFF Central Committee, marking a significant step in improving its organisational effectiveness.
Describing the exhibition as a large-scaled, content-rich, and unprecedented event with high requirements and limited preparation time, PM Pham Minh Chinh urged all ministries, sectors, and localities to participate with the highest sense of responsibility, ensuring the exhibition is inclusive, objective, truthful, feasible, and impactful.
Vietnam’s attendance reaffirms its consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralisation and diversification, and comprehensive, intensive, extensive and effective international integration.
Cheng stressed that this is third time PM Chinh has attended the meeting and he is among the few senior government officials participating in this year's event, which is considered as a rare and commendable gesture.
The fact that the Vietnamese PM has been invited to attend and speak at this important event for three consecutive years reflects the WEF as well as the international business community's recognition and high regard for Vietnam's position, role, and contributions to global and regional economic growth.
This new era marks a crucial phase in which the country must strive with determination to fulfil its strategic objectives, achieving breakthrough development at new levels of sophistication, quality, and global standing, laying the foundation for further growth. Era after era forms a continuous history of development, ascending steadily from one level to the next.
The resolution on such mechanisms aims to serve as a legal basis for opportunely dealing with difficulties and hindrances caused by legal regulations in important, priority, and urgent areas that require immediate settlement so as to unlock resources, facilitate economic development, and turn legislation into a competitive edge.
PM Pham Minh Chinh instructed chairpersons of the People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities to strictly follow the Ministry of Finance's guidelines on handling public finances and budgets, with a focus on preventing wastefulness, misconduct, or corruption.
Knapper reaffirmed the US's commitment to supporting a strong, independent, prosperous and resilient Vietnam, while respecting each other’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, independence and political systems.
Vietnam is deeply concerned about the escalating and complex conflict in the Middle East, which poses a serious threat to the lives and safety of civilians, as well as to regional and global peace and stability.
