JCP Shii talks with new Vietnam Ambassador

Japanese Communist Party Chair Shii Kazuo on May 8 met with the newly appointed Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Doan Xuan Hung in the Diet building.

Shii congratulated Hung on his assumption of office. He pointed out that since the Vietnam War for national salvation and against the U.S. aggression, the friendship between the two parties, the Communist Party of Vietnam and the JCP, has fruitfully developed through a variety of opportunities such as theoretical exchange meetings in recent years.

The chair expressed his hope that Vietnam will succeed in advancing toward socialism through a market economy based on its reform program called Doi Moi. He said, “We hope to continue to cooperate with you for the development of the two nations’ mutually beneficial relationship.”

Hung expressed his gratitude to the JCP for its great contribution to the development of the relations between the two countries as well as the two parties. He asked Shii to continue to help to develop the relationship for the benefit of the peoples of both Japan and Vietnam.

JCP Vice Chair Ogata Yasuo also participated in the talks.
