Two Japanese economic experts were honored Tuesday for their contributions to boosting relationship between Vietnam and Japan.
Kubota Teruyoshi, Director of Japan’s Vietnam Economic Research Institute, was bestowed with a friendship medal by Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Nguyen Phu Binh.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism presented an insignia to Japanese businessman Ito Toyokichi in recognition of his promoting Vietnam’s culture to Japanese and South Korean people.
Over the past 20 years, Kubota and his colleagues at the institute have provided their economic assessments of Vietnam to Japanese investors, which helped the Japanese business circle understand Vietnam’s environment to increase their investment in the country.
The institute has also represented a number of Vietnamese localities, including the northern port city of Hai Phong, the central coast city of Danang and the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, in investment promotion activities in Japan.
Meanwhile, Ito loves to collect Vietnamese paintings and introduced them to the people of Japan and South Korea.
Ito said he would continue collecting Vietnamese paintings to introduce them in Japan and neighboring countries.
He said he plans to organize a Vietnamese painting exhibition at the Busan Fine Arts Exhibition in South Korea.
