Prefecture Ibaraki will receive and equip Vietnamese trainees with basic knowledge and farming techniques, to help improve the quality of the Vietnamese agricultural sector’s human resources.
A document to this effect was signed in Japan on May 15 by representatives from the Vietnamese Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) and Japanese prefecture Ibaraki’s Livestock Agricultural Association (ILAA).
This is the first cooperative agreement on agricultural human resource between Vietnam and Japan, opening an opportunity for promoting bilateral cooperation in the field.
Under the agreement, the MoLISA’s Department of Overseas Labour (DOLAB) and ILAA will periodically exchange information on sending and receiving agricultural trainees, and essential measures to deal with related issues.

The same day, MoLISA Deputy Minister Nguyen Thanh Hoa and Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Doan Xuan Hung held talks with Ibaraki Governor Hasimoto Masaru.
Governor Masaru noted Ibaraki and Vietnam have huge potential for agricultural cooperation, reasoning that the prefecture is the second largest agricultural locality in Japan, which supplies major farm products to Tokyo and adjacent areas.
Hoa said the signing of the agreement is to realise Vietnam’s commitment to Japan by providing agricultural human resource for Ibaraki. He affirmed that agricultural cooperation will be further promoted in the future.
Hoa made a fact-finding tour of ILAA and a number of Japanese farms that are receiving Vietnamese trainees.
