This week’s JCP international activity

March 17 & 18, 2016
JCP Vice Chair Ogata holds talks with CPV executives

Japanese Communist Party Vice Chair Ogata Yasuo on March 16 held talks with Hoang Binh Quan, the chairman of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee’s Commission for External Relations, in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Ogata, in regard to the political climate in Japan, described the growing cooperation between five opposition parties, including the JCP, and a citizens’ coalition to achieve a people’s victory in the House of Councilors election scheduled for July with the aim of repealing the security-related legislation or so-called war laws.

The JCP vice chair talked about the present political issues at home such as the struggle to restore constitutionalism, protect individual dignity, and eliminate poverty and social disparity. He also touched on global challenges such as the abolition of nuclear weapons and the establishment of a regional community of peace in Northeast Asia.

Quan reported on the 12th National Congress of the CPV held in January. He said that the party will stand firm on its path toward socialism and continue to promote the Doi Moi policy. In addition, he talked about territorial issues in the South China Sea.

On the same day, JCP Ogata also met with Dinh The Huynh who was newly elected to the CPV Standing member of the Secretariat and the Politburo member.

Ogata congratulated him on the success of the CPV Congress and expressed his pleasure over the development of JCP-CPV relations. Regarding situations in the region and the rest of the world, he pointed out that the only way to work to resolve disputes is through diplomatic negotiations which may lead to a peaceful global order based on the UN Charter.

Huynh spoke of the past war of national liberation fought against the United States and agreed with Ogata by saying that all conflicts should be resolved by peaceful means based on mutual respect and international law.
