During Saturday’s summit, Takaichi and Hung agreed to consider a specific project under Japan’s official security cooperation scheme, which provides free defence equipment.
They also discussed China’s growing military pressure, North Korea’s nuclear and missile development and the conflict between the US-Israel side and Iran.
Vietnam’s current leadership was inaugurated in April. Takaichi also met with To Lam, head of the Communist Party of Vietnam and president of the Southeast Asian country. They agreed to arrange Lam’s visit to Japan later this year.
