Twenty-five poor Vietnamese students who are on a visit to Japan attended an exchange at the Vietnamese Embassy in Tokyo on July 1.

During the exchange, Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Nguyen Phu Binh briefed them on the development of Vietnam - Japan relations over the past 35 years. He said Japan is the world’s second largest economy and the Japanese people are determined to overcome all difficulties to build a prosperous, modern and civilised country.
