Infrastructure tops Viet Nam, Japan talks

Ha Noi (VNA)- The Vietnamese Government is more eager than ever before to get the three major Japanese-funded infrastructure projects of the Hoa Lac Hi-tech zone and the north-south highway and railway routes off the ground as quickly as possible.

Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung made the remark to a visiting delegation of the Japanese Lower House, headed by Nikai Toshihiro, Chairman of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party's Diet Policy, in Ha Noi, on August 20.

The Vietnamese PM told the guests that the Viet Nam-Japan friendship was one that has since evolved into a strategic partnership on the basis of cultural similarities, a healthy trade relationship and firm investment, political, diplomatic and defence ties.

Pundits have said that the PM's message to the delegation was right on track as the visiting group offered to establish a committee between Japan and East Asian countries that could be used as a viable platform to implement the three projects that have been termed the backbone of the country's national infrastructure development plan.

Other points of discussion at the meeting included a greater number of provincial government and student exchanges and the need to speed up the implementation of economic agreements between the two countries.

Toshihiro said that PM Dung's landmark visit to Japan in October last year was beneficial in raising the profile of the country in the Asian economic powerhouse and will go along way to getting the infrastructure works up and running.

The visiting delegation head also opined that needed capital for the Hoa Lac Zone could be drawn from a vanguard of small and medium sized Japanese business investors.-Enditem
