At the meeting, both sides agreed that, in recent times, Vietnam–Japan relations have witnessed strong, comprehensive and substantive development across various fields, including politics, economy, investment, security, defense and cultural exchanges, especially following the elevation of the bilateral ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in November 2023.

These projects, he added, have helped the MPS gain valuable experience in conducting fire prevention and rescue operations, develop technical training curricula, and train the Fire and Rescue Police Force to master modern vehicles, tools and equipment to better meet the force’s operational requirements.

To further enhance cooperation between the MPS and Japanese partner agencies, Deputy Minister Le Van Tuyen proposed that JICA continue to boost the implementation of the project “Enhancing Capacity of the Fire and Rescue Police Force of Vietnam,” while considering transferring more fire prevention and rescue vehicles and equipment to Vietnam.

He also suggested that the Japanese side organize specialized professional training courses for Vietnamese fire and rescue police officers, send Japanese experts to Vietnam to conduct advanced training programs and receive Vietnamese police officers and firefighters to attend in-depth training courses in Japan.

Expressing thanks to Deputy Minister Le Van Tuyen for the warm reception, JICA Senior Vice President Naoki Ando affirmed that JICA will continue to promote cooperative relations with Vietnamese partners, including the MPS, in an effective and substantive manner commensurate with the “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity in Asia and the World” between the two countries.
