Data from Japan’s immigration services agency showed that the number of foreign citizens residing in the country had reached a record high of 2.73 million people by December 2018.

The figure is expected to surge, particularly as Japan has adopted new policies approving the entry of foreign laborers since April this year.

At the moment, there are over 350,000 Vietnamese living, studying, and working in Japan, including a number of intellectuals from scientists to researchers at universities, research institutes, experts at leading companies in Japan as well as entrepreneurs from many fields.

Compared to the 1990s when the Vietnamese intellectual community in Japan had only about 100 people, it can be seen that the intellectual community in recent years has made great progress in both quality and quantity./.
