Seminar discusses Japan’s development experiences
More than 400 representatives from different central and local agencies, universities and research institutes gathered for a seminar in Hanoi on January 9 to learn about Japan’s development experience and possibly making adjustments and applying it to Vietnam.
The event was co-organised by the Central Party Committee’s Organization Commission and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
JICA Chief Representative in Vietnam, Tsuno Motonori, said that Vietnam has gained remarkable achievements in economic development since it implemented its Doi moi (Renewal) policy. Now that it is considered a middle-income country, Vietnam should restructure its economy and improve its competitive edge to achieve deeper international integration.
He emphasized that Japan is willing to share experience and support Vietnam in its renewal process in order to help the country become an industrialized nation before 2020.
JICA has also provided technical and financial support for Vietnam and worked together with Project 165 office to train Vietnamese managers in macro-economic development, knowledge-based personnel management, and improve the management capacity of local authorities as well as preventing natural disasters.
