Vietnam, Japan enhance cooperation in technology renovation, digital transformation, supply chain

The Prime Ministers of Vietnam and Japan attended a seminar on bilateral cooperation in technology renovation, digital transformation and supply chain diversification on Sunday.

Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh told the seminar which was co-organised by Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry of Industry and Trade and Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO), that the Vietnamese Party and State have directed the promotion of science-technology development and innovation, in order to increase the capacity to access and participate in the Fourth Industrial Revolution in service of rapid and sustainable national development.

He noted that the economies of Vietnam and Japan are highly supplementary and thus there is great potential for them to cooperate in many fields, particularly in technology, digital transformation and supply chain diversification.

Chinh stressed that Vietnam hopes for further coordination and support from the government and enterprises of Japan in the process of technology renovation, digital transformation and supply chain diversification.

The PM pledged that the Vietnamese government will always create every possible condition for Japanese and Vietnamese enterprises to intensify their partnership in all fields.

Cooperation possibilities for Japan and Vietnam are limitless, said Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio at the seminar.

Kishida affirmed that Japan and Vietnam have been enhancing their partnership towards the post-pandemic period.

Participants at the seminar underlined that technology renovation and digital transformation have, more than ever, become an urgent need for Vietnamese enterprises in order to improve competitiveness, production efficiency and readiness to capitalize on new waves of investment prompted by multi-national corporations’ efforts to diversify their supply chains.

They agreed that with the resolve and support of high-ranking leaders of both Vietnam and Japan, the collaboration between the two countries in technology renovation, digital transformation and supply chain diversification will provide not only opportunities but also effective tools for both to realise their goal of sustainable development and contribute to their trustful strategic partnership.
