2008 September 3 - 9 [JCP]
Fuwa holds talks with Vietnamese Academy delegation |
Nguyen Van Huyen, director of the Academy’s Institute of Political Sciences, said, “The purpose of our visit to Japan at this time is to promote our study concerning ‘how the ruling party should behave’ as part of the theoretical study in the ongoing national project toward the next Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 2011.
Fuwa said, “Your visit to Japan is timely. You can observe and study the actual state of the Japanese ruling parties,” and explained his analysis of the process and significance of Prime Minister Fukuda Yasuo’s sudden resignation.
Fuwa added, “Although time is not yet ripe for the JCP to become a ruling party, we have accumulated a lot of experience as a ruling party in local governments.”
Citing Komae City in Tokyo, where a communist mayor was elected in 1996, Fuwa stated that JCP branches in Komae City, hand in hand with citizens, defeated attacks by the Liberal Democratic and Komei parties’ coalition at the national level and their majority in the Komae City Assembly, by winning victories in a series of mayoral elections.
Fuwa also explained the JCP view on the question of the continued existence of the multi-party system in Japan.
Huyen expressed his hope that theoretical exchanges with the JCP will continue, and Fuwa appreciated the CPV effort to increase theoretical study in preparation for the CPV Congress.
Other participants in the talks included; JCP Vice Chair Hamano Tadao and Phan Xuan Son, vice director of the Institute of Political Sciences, Luu Van Quang, professor of the institute, Dang Dinh Tan, professor of the institute, and Ho Viet Hanh, vice director of the Institute for Northeast Asian Studies of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences.
