Tourism cooperation year marks new milestone in Viet Nam Japan relations
According to the Viet Nam National Authority of Tourism (VNAT), during General Secretary and President To Lam’s state visit to Japan, and building on a new strategic vision for bilateral relations, the Vietnamese leader and Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae agreed to adopt the Viet Nam Japan Joint Vision Statement.
The statement aims to elevate the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity in Asia and the World to new heights, guided by the spirit of being “partners advancing together and co-creating for mutual benefit, high-quality growth, strategic autonomy and resilience.”
Under the Viet Nam Japan Joint Vision Statement, the two sides agreed on several directions for strengthening connectivity, expanding exchanges and promoting bilateral cooperation in the coming years.
These priorities for bolstering connectivity, people-to-people exchanges and tourism cooperation are being pursued against a backdrop of continued positive growth in tourist flows between Viet Nam and Japan.
The VNAT considers the announcement of the Viet Nam Japan Tourism Cooperation Year 2027 2028 significant, marking a new stage in bilateral cooperation while demonstrating a shared determination to enhance connectivity, promote people-to-people exchanges and deepen the Viet Nam Japan Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
Through a series of cooperative activities over the next two years, the tourism sectors of Viet Nam and Japan will have further opportunities to leverage their distinctive products, develop higher value-added offerings, improve service quality and strengthen market linkages.
Holding the announcement ceremony in Japan will also help bring Viet Nam’s tourism image closer to the Japanese public, while encouraging more Vietnamese travellers to choose Japan as a destination.
The Viet Nam Japan Tourism Cooperation Year 2027 2028 therefore goes beyond conventional tourism promotion.
It is a strategically valuable bilateral initiative that will enhance mutual understanding and trust and inject new vitality into long-standing friendship and bilateral ties.
