The Japan-Vietnam Friendship Parliamentarian Federation (JVFPF) wants to promote economic and investment ties with the northern province of Hung Yen.

JVFPF President Tsutomu Takebe delivered the message while leading a delegation to Hung Yen province on Wednesday.

He said the visit also aimed to strengthen the friendship between the JVFPF and Vietnam in general and Hung Yen province in particular, helping boost Japan ’s economic cooperation and investment activities in the locality.

The JVFPF has actively canvassed the Japanese government for granting ODA to Vietnam, he said, adding that he was pleased with the effective use of the funds in the country.

Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Council Nguyen Van Cuong stressed that Hung Yen Province places its confidence in Japanese friends in economic relations.

He said the province is ready to welcome Japanese universities’ investment in the Pho Hien University area.

During their stay in Hung Yen, the JVFPF delegation visited the Bunka shutter and door factory, one of Japan’s facilities in the Thang Long II Industrial Zone, and paid tribute to the late President of the Vietnam-Japan Friendship Parliamentarian Federation, Tran Dinh Hoan.
