At these meetings, the Vietnamese leader held that the elevation of the bilateral relations to the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity in Asia and the World reflected the robust, comprehensive, and substantive development of the Viet Nam - Japan relationship.

He spoke highly of the Japanese legislature's support for strengthening the friendship and cooperation between the two countries. He emphasized the importance of Otsuji Hidehisa's visit to Viet Nam last September.

Viet Nam always considers Japan a substantial and long-term partner and wishes to forge relations more comprehensively and intensively for the benefits of the two peoples and for peace, stability, cooperation, and development in the region.

For his part, Nukaga Fukushiro was delighted with the outstanding and practical development of the Viet Nam-Japan relations over the past time, affirming that the Japanese legislature will play a more active role in strengthening bilateral cooperation within the new relationship framework.

Meanwhile, during his trip to the country in September, Otsuji Hidehisa was impressed by Viet Nam's positive development, hoping to promote a comprehensive strategic partnership in all fields and enhance exchanges and close cooperation between the two countries' legislative bodies in the coming time./.
