According to Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Pham Quang Hieu, Japanese political parties all attach great importance to the bilateral relations, and Japanese investors' confidence in Vietnam's investment environment has significantly improved.
The embassy has focused on measures to further strengthen economic cooperation between Vietnam and Japan, especially connecting cooperation among localities of the two countries, he said.
According to the diplomat, the number of young Vietnamese intellectuals in Japan has increased in recent times, and they want to make more contributions to the homeland and serve as a bridge to promote the bilateral relations.
