The Japanese Government, meanwhile, spoke highly of the Vietnamese Government’s success in COVID-19 prevention and control, in particular it reporting no new community infections for the last two months.
Both governments have a shared view on the importance of bolstering their extensive strategic partnership in all fields. Such cooperation should be strengthened in a way that ensures effective COVID-19 prevention and control, so as not to cause the virus to spread and to fully comply with regulations in each country./.
