Former Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Quoc Cuong described President To Lam’s recent visit to Japan as a historic turning point for the two countries’ bilateral ties. This milestone could shape new job and business chances for Vietnamese people.

During the visit, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi pledged to create conditions that allow Vietnamese businesses to take part more deeply and substantively in Japanese companies’ supply chains. Greater involvement in these supply chains may open new career paths in manufacturing, logistics and technology.

The leaders also signed 11 cooperation documents that cover energy, education, science and technology, maritime affairs and environmental protection. These sectors are key areas where Vietnamese firms can seek partnerships and joint projects.

In addition, businesses from both sides reached about 60 cooperation agreements, further expanding opportunities for economic cooperation. The agreements signal a broader market for Vietnamese companies and a chance for professionals to work on cross‑border projects.

The joint vision statement sets a partnership based on co‑creation and mutual benefit, with a focus on science, technology, education, production, supply‑chain linkages and finance. Together, these commitments suggest that Vietnam’s ties with Japan will generate concrete opportunities for Vietnamese workers and entrepreneurs.
