Vietnam's top leader, To Lam, wants his country to chart a new development path together with Japan, with deeper cooperation in artificial intelligence and semiconductors among its aims.
Addressing the Diet, Japan's parliament, on Monday (November 9), Lam pointed to science and technology, innovation and digital transformation as important drivers of future progress.
The president and general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam described Japan's role in those areas as crucial.
His speech also included support for Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's proposal to develop the Free and Open Indo-Pacific initiative further.

Such progress, he hoped, would bring peace, stability and prosperity to the region.
