Takushima Toshio, President of the association, said Nagasaki is strong in industry with high technological standard and skilled engineers.

The association wants to establish a solid relationship between the two localities’ education and industry sectors, thereby increasing human resources for Vietnamese and Japanese small- and medium-sized enterprises in the future, he said.

Nagasaki business representatives also committed to speeding up launching cooperation programs with Ho Chi Minh City’s vocational training establishments.

Both sides agreed to intensify collaboration across industry, high-tech agriculture and fisheries processing./.
