Speaking at the seminar, Chairman of the Oita Chamber of Commerce and Industry Kiyotaka Himeno said Vietnam is a developing country with many potential free trade deals. Especially, it is a member of the dynamic ASEAN region, which is expected to develop strongly in a foreseeable future.
He added that Vietnam boasts an abundant and young workforce but it needs high quality workers. Therefore, Japanese businesses hope to strengthen human resources cooperation.
Industrial firms from Japan’s Oita prefecture also expressed their wish to cooperate with Vietnamese businesses. Vietnamese and Japanese enterprises exchanged information and studied each other’s demands and supply ability during the meeting.
Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Centre of Supporting Industries Development (CSID) Le Nguyen Duy Oanh shared that Japanese firms want to seek suppliers and partners to build factories and transfer technology in the fields of metal production and mechanical engineering.
Japanese firms will pay field trips to some factories in Ho Chi Minh City and study the premises of Hiep Phuoc industrial park.
