Prime Minister Tuan met with JBIC Chairman and a former special ambassador for Vietnam-Japan relations during a visit to Tokyo, underscoring Hanoi's commitment to strengthening economic ties with Japan. The discussions centred on expanding JBIC's role in channelling Japanese investment into key Vietnamese sectors.
Tuan outlined priority areas for increased cooperation, including large-scale green energy projects, smart infrastructure development, semiconductor manufacturing and high-tech electronics production. These sectors align with Vietnam's broader economic diversification strategy and efforts to attract advanced manufacturing capabilities.
The PM emphasized the importance of projects with significant spillover effects that would enable Vietnamese businesses to deepen their participation in regional and global supply chains. Such investments are seen as critical to Vietnam's long-term competitiveness and industrial development.
The meeting reflects the expanding scope of the Vietnam-Japan Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which has progressed substantially across multiple sectors in recent years. Increased JBIC involvement is expected to facilitate larger capital flows and support Vietnam's transition toward higher-value manufacturing and sustainable development initiatives.
