Speaking at the event, President of the association in the first tenure Dinh Ngoc Hai said that, after five years of formation and development, the association has gained initial achievements, contributing to connecting the two countries’ enterprises, particularly those from Japan and Vietnam’s Can Tho city and Ca Mau province.

However, Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Nguyen Quoc Cuong stated that the connectivity between Vietnamese enterprises remains loose.

Therefore, he expressed his hope that the second-tenure executive board will take more specific and practical measures to better connect Vietnamese enterprises in Japan and Vietnamese enterprises and Japanese partners.

Vietnam-Japan relations are developing strongly, creating more space for Vietnamese enterprises to integrate more deeply into the Japanese market, Cuong added.

At the congress, a new executive board of the association was selected, with 11 members, including one President and four Vice Presidents.

Vu Hoang Duc, the association’s new chief, committed to helping the association grow further in order to become a trusted venue linking the two countries’ businesses.
