Hanoi (VNA) - Chief Representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Vietnam Office Shimizu Akira has voiced his hope to continue receiving consultations and support from the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) in the planning and implementation of cooperation projects in Vietnam.

He made the remark during a meeting with VNA General Director Vu Viet Trang on November 11 to bolster communications cooperation between the two agencies.

At the event, the two sides agreed that the Vietnam-Japan relations have been thriving in a comprehensive, extensive and practical manner across multiple fields, with significant contributions by the information-communications sector.

Shimizu spoke highly of the VNA’s updated and accurate flow of news which helps the JICA promptly grasp Vietnam’s socio-economic situation as well as aspirations of the Vietnamese people.

The VNA boasts a widespread network of correspondents and a system of diverse information products serving local and foreign audiences that can fulfil the Japanese agency's demand for information, Trang said, affirming that it is the VNA’s duty to promote mainstream information on Vietnam and its people to the world.

The enhancement of information sharing between the two sides is believed to further strengthen the Vietnam-Japan extensive strategic partnership./.
