The information was released by Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi on June 23rd.
In response to questions from reporters in Tokyo, Foreign Minister Motegi said that Vietnam has granted permission for Japanese experts and businessmen to enter the country and they agree to increase epidemic prevention measures.
A number of flights by Vietnam Airlines will be arranged by the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam and will depart from Narita Airport in Tokyo before landing at Van Don International Airport in Vietnam.
The move comes after comments made by Foreign Minister Motegi on June 19th stating that both countries have agreed to relax measures by partially lifting travel bans and easing restrictions step by step, noting that it won't be long before the resumption of travel between the two nations.
In addition, Japan is negotiating with Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand in an attempt to loosen travel restrictions as travelers test negative for COVID-19 before they depart and again once they arrive.
Moreover, a detailed itinerary providing information about places where arrivals stay must be given. This will help businessmen avoid the mandatory 14-day isolation period and continue working with some travel restrictions remaining in place./.
