TOKYO--()--Fifteen Japanese university students are scheduled to visit Socialist Republic of Vietnam from November 12th to 20th as part of the Japan’s Friendship Ties Programs “JENESYS 2019” promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

The group will meet government officials in Vietnam and observe the sites and facilities which was funded by Japan’s ODA and visit Japanese companies, they will learn the relationship between Japan and Vietnam, and deepen the knowledge of Japanese contribution to Vietnam, and through the experience of school exchange, homestay, and observation of traditional industry, cultural property protection, history and art, they are expected to have a better understanding of culture and society of Vietnam. They will also appeal Japanese culture during each program.

Through this program, we hope the participants proactively share the appeals of Japan and other information after returning to Japan and it ties the relationships between Japan and Vietnam.
