The Government chief made the statement while receiving President of Japanese Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Sadakazu Tanigaki.

PM Dũng took the occasion to thank Japanese Government for providing official development assistance to Việt Nam.

He hoped that the LDP and Japanese parliament will continue advocating joint cooperation programs and activities between the two nations, particularly in such fields of economics, trade and investment.

Việt Nam is now stepping up comprehensive international integration, thus the country treasures support from the international community, PM Dũng added.

He also spoke highly of Việt Nam’s recent achievements in dealing with global crisis and economic downturn.
