The Vietnamese community in Japan strives to promote trade between the two countries

(VOVWORLD) – On the night of the 3rd, the Overseas Vietnamese Association in Hanoi, in collaboration with the Vietnam-Japan Economic Cooperation Promotion Association, held a gathering to promote trade between Vietnam and Japan.

It has been over 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, and the relationship between Vietnam and Japan has developed well across all sectors. Currently, Japan is Vietnam’s fourth largest trading partner.

To contribute to the economic development of the homeland and to utilize the human resources of Vietnamese living in Japan, the Overseas Vietnamese Association officially launched the Vietnam-Japan Trade Promotion Center and the Vietnam-Japan Business Club. These organizations are responsible for organizing trade exchange activities between companies and localities in both countries, while responding to requests from Japan.

During the ceremony, numerous cooperation documents between companies of both countries were signed in the presence of members of the Japanese House of Representatives, the Japan-Vietnam Friendship Association, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, and the Vietnamese Consul General in Osaka.

“Last year, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Japan. As the person in charge of community activities for overseas Vietnamese, I hope that this event provides many opportunities to strengthen exchanges and ties between Vietnamese and Japanese businesses. Japanese companies can explore investment opportunities in Vietnam, and Vietnamese companies can present their products in Japan,” said a representative.

Meanwhile, Junto Soma, Director of the Asia Economic Exchange Organization, also commented.

At the gathering, leading companies from both countries exhibited products such as medical devices and food items.

Currently, there are about 500,000 Vietnamese living in Japan, making it the second largest overseas Vietnamese community in the world. This community plays a role in promoting and consuming Vietnamese products in Japan and contributes to enhancing trade between the two countries.
