At the meeting, Chinh talked about the Vietnamese culture with his guest and invited a calligraphic master to write three words Chan thanh, Tinh cam, Tin cay (meaning Affection, Sincerity, Trust) in both Vietnamese and Japanese Kanji to present to the Japanese Prime Minister.
The three words are the new motto for the Viet Nam-Japan relationship that the two countries’ Prime Ministers had agreed upon during Prime Minister Chinh’s visit to Japan in November 2021.
Prime Minister Kishida said cultural similarities between Japan and Viet Nam create an important foundation for strengthening their friendship.
The visit by the Japanese Prime Minister takes place when the Viet Nam-Japan extensive strategic partnership is developing robustly across the field. The two countries are actively preparing for activities marking the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic ties in 2023.
During the visit, besides holding talks with his Vietnamese counterpart, Prime Minister Kishida is scheduled to pay respect to President Ho Chi Minh at his mausoleum, make cordial visits to Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and President Nguyen Xuan Phuc, and have a meeting with National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue. He will also attend a conference on Vietnam-Japan cooperation in industrial reform and digital transformation.
