VietNamNet Bridge – The Japanese Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City Ikuo Mizuki said he is optimistic about the prospects for his country’s ties with Vietnam, which have moved comprehensively towards the establishment of a strategic partnership.

In 2007, out of a total of 410,000 Japanese tourists who visited Vietnam, 236,000 visited Ho Chi Minh City.

The diplomat made the statement at a meeting held in Ho Chi Minh City on Dec. 3 to mark Japan’s National Day (Dec. 23) and the 75th birthday of the Japanese Emperor.

He also said Japanese investment in Vietnam will increase significantly in the future, as will cooperation in the culture, education and tourism sectors.

Japan has become one of Vietnam’s major tourist markets since flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka were established.

In 2007, out of a total of 410,000 Japanese tourists who visited Vietnam, 236,000 visited Ho Chi Minh City.

“We believed that Vietnam’s efforts to reform administrative procedures and to ensure visitor’s safety will lure more Japanese tourists to Vietnam,” the consul general said.

According to the Chairman of the municipal Vietnam-Japan Friendship Association, Hoang Van Tuan, the relationship between the two countries has become increasingly positive and dynamic at multilateral forums.

As an ASEAN-Japan relations coordinator, Vietnam has intensified its cooperation with Japan in all important regional issues.

Tuan also highlighted the booming trade ties between the two nations, with bilateral trade turnover at more than 10 billion USD in 2007, three times 1999’s figure. The country was also Vietnam’s largest ODA donor last year, with 13 billion USD poured into the Southeast Asian country.
