According to Mr. Haruhiko Ozasa, chief representative of JETRO Hanoi, while "Wagyu" and "Matcha" are particularly famous, Japanese cuisine is far more diverse than just these well-known items.
Komeri Group is particularly interested in partnering with Vietnam's northern province in two key product categories: agricultural supplies and equipment, and household goods.
Zarubezhneft General Director Sergei Kudryashov stated that alongside oil and gas cooperation with Vietnam, Zarubezhneft wishes to expand collaboration into other sectors such as energy and minerals.
JETRO's latest survey revealed that Japanese enterprises operating in Vietnam—including local supporting industry enterprises—achieved a localization rate of 36.6%, comparable to Malaysia and the Philippines.
Vietnam and Japan continue to strengthen their comprehensive cooperation, with science and technology, innovation, and high-quality human resource development designated as a new strategic pillar.
