Việt Nam placed great importance on fostering its ties with Japan under the spirit of extensive strategic partnership, he said, adding that this would promote peace and prosperity.
Việt Nam was preparing for the State visit by the Emperor and Empress as an important event, he said, asking functional agencies on both sides to do their best.
