PM Nguyễn Tấn Dũng expressed his hope that JETRO would help to accelerate three Japan-invested projects in Việt Nam – North-South express railway, North-South Highway and the Hòa Lạc hi-tech park - as well as other important projects, including the construction of metro systems in Hà Nội and Hồ Chí Minh City.

PM Dũng suggested that the two sides should speed up the negotiations for the bilateral Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) and implement the third stage of the Việt Nam–Japan Joint Initiative on improving Việt Nam’s investment environment.

The JETRO Chairman pledged to do his best to promote economic and trade ties between the two countries. He revealed that JETRO and the Việt Nam Trade Promotion Agency will hold a seminar for the business community in September 2008.
