Ambassador Binh recalled development steps in the relationship between Vietnam and Japan, particularly their agreement to establish strategic partnership. He also said he hoped the Japan-Vietnam Friendship Parliamentarians League would assist the two countries in their Economic Partnership Agreement negotiations.
