Minh expressed his belief that the centre will effectively promote its function as a place for cultural and economic exchanges, thereby introducing Vietnamese cultural characteristics and promoting local products in Japan.
For his part, Vu Hoang Duc, chairman of the Vietnamese Association in Gunma Prefecture, said that the centre will be an ideal place to introduce Vietnamese culture and display high-quality goods from both Vietnam and other Asian nations.
Furthermore, it also represents a prime venue for organising cultural and artistic events for the Vietnamese community in Japan, as well as being a place for investment promotion forums to link Vietnamese businesses to Asian countries.
