Hanoi (VNA) – The defence cooperation between Vietnam and Japan is comprehensive, effective, pragmatic and mutually trustworthy, said Vietnamese Deputy Defence Minister Nguyen Chi Vinh.
The officer told the Vietnam News Agency on the sidelines of the fourth Vietnam-Japan Defence Policy Dialogue that took place in Tokyo on November 29 that the two countries share common concerns about negative impacts on peace in Asia-Pacific in general and on stability and development in each nation in particular.
He stressed that the bilateral defence affiliation has become increasingly important as it helps build mutual trust between the two countries in a sustainable manner.
At the previous dialogues, the two sides discussed regional security and expressed their shared concern in order to raise voice and take actions together to ease the risks of uncertainties in the region and each country, Vinh said.
During this year’s event, Vietnam and Japan agreed on the need to raise a strong voice to protect peace and collaboration processes in the region and the world at large.
