Deputy Minister Nguyen Ngoc Lam emphasized that since signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on fire prevention, firefighting and rescue cooperation in 2018, the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security and the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications have regularly exchanged expertise. Japan has organized dozens of training courses for Vietnamese officers and provided various vehicles and specialized equipment to support fire and rescue operations in the country.

To further strengthen bilateral cooperation, Deputy Minister Nguyen Ngoc Lam suggested that the two side sides consider updating and expanding the scope of the existing MOU, while promoting joint research, development, and manufacturing of fire safety and rescue equipment in Vietnam.

Furthermore, he proposed enhancing the exchange of best practices in establishing technical standards and certification systems for fire equipment, formulating safety standards for lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle (EV) fires, setting up production lines for firefighting vehicles and gear, and developing fire safety protocols for high-speed rail and nuclear power plants.

Through these steps, both sides can progressively establish a long-term mechanism to deepen, materialize, and enhance the practical efficiency of cooperation between the two ministries to meet emerging demands.

Expressing gratitude to Deputy Minister Nguyen Ngoc Lam for inviting him to SECUTECH 2026 and hosting the delegation, Deputy Minister Kajihara Daisuke concurred with the ideas and suggestions made by the Vietnamese side.
