Viet Nam stands ready to work with Japan and other countries in the aforementioned areas, the top Vietnamese Party leader, suggesting Japan and the JBIC continue to support Viet Nam's development process while enhancing infrastructure connectivity in Southeast Asia and the Mekong Subregion, particularly in the fields of transportation, energy, and big data infrastructure.

Furthermore, he emphasized the need to expand collaboration into newly-emerging fields such as energy transition, artificial intelligence, big data, and startups, thereby making active contributions to Viet Nam's development and strengthening Viet Nam-Japan relations./.
