Japan Seeks Infrastructure Cooperation in Vietnam

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Kansai Economic Federation (KEF) said a delegation of 44 senior Vietnamese managers will pay a visit to the region of Kansai, Japan from late February to March to study the technologies used to provide clean water and treat wastewater.

 

During the two-week visit, the Vietnamese party will have the chance to study the water supply and sewage systems of several cities including Osaka , Kyoto , Kobe , and a plant making wastewater treatment equipment of the Japanese company Kubota.

 

KEF Chairman Shosuke Mori proposed the visit to Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang and other Vietnamese leaders during his visit to Vietnam last November.

KEF is also considering organising visits for Vietnamese officials to inspect city traffic systems and other projects, to help Japanese businesses procure infrastructure contracts in Vietnam.
