A working group from the embassy led by Nguyen Truong Son, Minister Counselor, Deputy Chief of Mission paid a visit to Gunma prefecture from January 14-15. They met with Governor Osawa Masaaki, others senior leaders and businesses which are investing in Vietnam.

During the meeting, Governor of Gunma prefecture Osawa Masaaki said he will lead a delegation of authorities and enterprises during a visit to Vietnam on February 15-18.

Meanwhile, Minister Son affirmed that the Vietnamese government and businesses expressed wish to strengthen cooperation with Japan’s localities and spoke highly of Gunma enterprises’ dynamism. He committed to actively cooperating with the prefecture for the benefits of both sides.

On January 14, the Vietnamese embassy in collaboration with Gunma prefecture’s authorities and Gunma Bank organized a seminar on Vietnam’s business climate and hands-on experiences with the participation of some 100 enterprises.

Gunma's modern industries include transport equipment and electrical equipment, concentrated around Maebashi and the eastern region nearest Tokyo. More traditional industries include sericulture and agriculture. Gunma's major agricultural products include cabbages and konjacs.
