He shared the information during a
reception with Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in Hanoi on July 19.
At the meeting, PM Phuc lauded JETRO’s activities in Vietnam and said he
believes that his guest’s current visit to Vietnam will open a new chapter for
trade and investment cooperation between the two nations.
The PM thanked the collaboration of JETRO in organising a trade promotion
conference in Vietnam during his official visit to Japan in June 2017. This was
the largest event of its kind to date, attracting the attendance of over 1,600
delegates, including the Vietnamese and Japanese Prime Ministers.
He affirmed that business climate improvement is a priority of the Vietnamese
Government. The country is focusing on stabilising macroeconomics, improving
legal institutions, developing infrastructure and human resources, and
simplifying administrative procedures.
PM Phuc said recent surveys showed a significant number of Japanese firms spoke
highly of Vietnam’s business climate and wanted to expand their operations in
the country.
The Vietnamese leader expected Japan would obtain the top position in Vietnam’s
FDI, saying Vietnam welcomes Japanese investments, particularly in
infrastructure development, clean energy, processing and industry, electronics,
high-tech farming, logistics, and aviation.
He stated that Vietnam will do its best to facilitate Japanese investors.
The PM took the occasion to convey his sympathies to Japanese people affected
by recent floods.
For his part, JETRO Chairman and CEO Hiroyuki Ishige said Japanese PM Shinzo
Abe pays attention to on boosting cooperation with Vietnam.
Ishige highlighted that the many deals secured at the June conference –
including key projects in energy, trade, and industrial production – are
effectively being implemented in Vietnam.
Highlighting the strong Japanese capital flow into Vietnam, he said JETRO is
making efforts to support the investments.
He said skilled Vietnamese employees are in high demand for Japanese firms,
adding that JETRO is working with Vietnamese universities to introduce Japanese
firms.
He stressed that improvements to the business climate are key to attracting
more Japanese investors to Vietnam.
Responding to PM Phuc’s comment on the proactive contribution of Vietnam and
Japan to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific
Partnership (CPTPP), Ishige said he expects the two countries will take the
lead in the implementation of the pact.
He hoped the CPTPP’s coming into effect would happen soon, so as to bring about
the mutual benefits for all sides involved.

Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
