As Vietnam has surpassed China and Thailand to become the top market of Mie enterprises, he said he will lead a delegation of more than 90 firms to Vietnam in November to seek business opportunities.

Ambassador Cuong pledged to support the delegation’s visit.

Visiting Yokkaichi, the largest seaport city in Mie, Nguyen Quoc Cuong asked the city to transfer technology and train human resources in environmental treatment, in which it has experience.

Mayor of Yokkaichi city Mori Tomochiro agreed to support Vietnam in the field.

During his stay in Shiga prefecture, Ambassador Cuong met with governor of the prefecture Mikazuki Taizo, deputy governor Toshie Ikenaga and heads of the local industrial, agricultural and tourism sectors. He briefed the Japanese officials on Vietnam’s socio-economic development policies and highlighted investment opportunities in Vietnam.

Mikazuki said that Shiga attached much importance to cooperation with the Southeast Asian nation, adding the prefecture has signed a cooperation deal with Ho Chi Minh City and will sign another with Quang Ninh soon.

On the occasion, Ambassador Cuong also visited businesses in Mikazuki.
