Speaking at the signing ceremony on January 15, Ambassador Naoki expressed his pleasure in exchanging documents for the Human Resource Development Scholarship Programme project, which aims to provide opportunities for Viet Nam's outstanding young administrative officials to study in Japan.
“Japan is honoured to contribute to Viet Nam's development as the country enters a new era under the leadership of Party General Secretary To Lam,” he said.
He expressed his hope that, through the young leaders and the programme's alumni network, the Japan-Viet Nam relationship will be further strengthened.
The JDS (Japanese Development Scholarship) programme supports young administrative officials, expected to play key roles in Viet Nam's Government, in pursuing master's and doctoral studies at Japanese universities.
This aims to address Viet Nam’s developmental challenges and enhance bilateral relations through the programme's alumni network.
Since its inception in 2001, the programme has welcomed more than 800 young Vietnamese administrative officials to study in Japan./.
