Speaking at a ceremony in Tokyo on July 16, Nam hailed the Japanese official’s efforts for the development of ties between the two countries.
For his part, the governor thanked Vietnam for the honor. He said that in the 90s of the previous century when Vietnam was in a difficult situation, Vietnam-Japan relations had few opportunities to grow. At that time, he told himself to work for the expansion of the ties and then strived for the resumption of official development assistance for Vietnam.
