the country, and for benefits of the victims.
At the meeting, Miyuki Sakuma said that the Japan - Vietnam
Friendship Association in Hiroshima was established in 1955 to develop a
solidarity movement with the Vietnamese people in the struggle for peace and
against the war. The association, the oldest of its kind in Hiroshima, has been
implementing many exchange and friendship activities with the Vietnamese
community living in the prefecture.

coordinate with the association in addressing war consequences and safeguarding
peace. She also called on Hoa Binh to join the Mayors For Peace network with
the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons.
Thanking the guest for her proposal, Khanh said that Hoa
Binh province will consider and study procedures to be able to participate in
this network in the coming time.
