Vietnam and Japan agreed to expand the Comprehensive and Progressive
Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) to include more countries and
regions for the future benefit of both nations, reported The Nikkei newspaper
from Japan.
The leaders have discussed the possibility of launching negotiations on a
bilateral social welfare agreement which prevents the double payment of social
security contributions for Vietnamese employers who have employees working in
Japan and vice versa, the newspaper said.
Japan also pledged to provide Vietnam with 15.6 billion JPY in Official
Development Assistance (ODA) to build educational establishments for human
resources training in the industrial sector, it added.
In addition to cooperation in economics, the Japanese media also highlighted
the Vietnam-Japan relations in East Sea issues, freedom of navigation,
promotion of respect for international law, and denuclearization of the Korean
Peninsula.
The two sides exchanged concerns over the current situation in the East Sea and
shared common awareness of the significance of fostering peace and stability in
the waters and of the demilitarization through diplomatic efforts, NHK
Television reported.
PM Shinzo Abe expected that the two nations will continue taking their
partnership in maritime security to a new height and pushing for the "Free and
Open Indo-Pacific Strategy”. He stressed that the freedom of navigation is
important to the region’s peace and prosperity, reported Sankei, Mainichi,
