The Vietnamese Embassy in Japan Meets with Japanese Media

          On April 27, 2026, in Tokyo, the Vietnamese Embassy in Japan held a meeting attended by numerous major Japanese media outlets such as Akahata Newspaper (of the Japanese Communist Party), Jiji Press, Kyodo, Nihon Denpa News, Asahi Shinbun, Mainichi Shinbun, NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation), Nikkei (Japan Economic Times), and local media outlets such as Narita Radio, Ishikawa Television, and representatives from the Vietnamese press. The event was considered an important annual activity aimed at further strengthening and developing Vietnam-Japan relations in the context of increasingly comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.

          Speaking at the meeting, Ambassador Pham Quang Hieu reviewed the outstanding achievements in bilateral relations, while particularly emphasizing the supportive role of the media of both countries, especially the Japanese press, in promoting the positive development of Vietnam-Japan relations. The Ambassador affirmed that the two countries' relations could hardly have achieved the progress they have today without the important contributions of the press in providing information, shaping perceptions, and enhancing mutual understanding.

          For their part, representatives of Japanese news agencies and media expressed their positive sentiments towards Vietnam and Japan-Vietnam relations, offering specific, sincere, and open opinions and questions aimed at further deepening bilateral relations in the future.

          Based on this, the Ambassador requested that Japanese media continue to promote the investment and business environment and the institutional, economic, and social reforms of Vietnam. At the same time, we will enhance comprehensive, objective, and positive reporting on the Vietnamese community in Japan, especially stories of good people and good deeds. These contributions are expected to further deepen trust, connection, and cooperation between the two countries in the future.
