In the upcoming years, the two also intend to carry out projects that will benefit both parties within the framework of cooperation, including the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM), a mechanism through which Japan helps to reduce and absorb greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.

The proposal was discussed during a recent working session between the municipal People’s Committee and the authority of Sakai city (Photo: Vneconomy).

Deputy Chairman of the Da Nang People’s Committee Le Quang Nam urged a direct flight establishment between the two cities to create favorable conditions for increasing demands of investment, trade and tourism from Japan.

The natural resources department of Da Nang City and the Sakai City Environment Bureau also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the neutral city project, which was authorized by the Ministry of Environment, Government of Japan, as part of the two cities' cooperation program. The project will be put into action between 2025 and 2028.

Da Nang also requested that the Japanese port authorities share their experiences in sustainable development, seaport construction, and underground traffic projects during the other working session in Yokohama city, Vietamplus reported.

In the past, the cities of Yokohama and Sakai (Japan) helped Da Nang transform its "green" industries by constructing a carbon-neutral model at Da Nang Port and industrial parks. This is because Da Nang City is a beneficiary of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)-funded energy saving for the city’s resident project till 2025. Also, Da Nang and Sakai set up cooperation in 2009, and the two sides promoted friendship ties in 2019.

Japanese investors poured 1.04 billion USD into 228 projects in Da Nang. According to VIetnamplus, cities in Japan including Yokohama, Maebashi, Chiba, Fukuoka, Shizuoka and Nagasaki; more than 120 businesses and 13 universities from Japan had inked agreements on manpower recruitment and internship agreements with Da Nang city’s Dong A University.
