On September 21, 1973, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and Japan signed a diplomatic agreement, establishing official relations between the two countries. Since then, relations between Vietnam and Japan have been increasingly strengthened and consolidated. Japan is currently Vietnam's leading economic partner, the largest ODA donor, the second largest labor cooperation partner, the third largest investment and tourism partner, and the fourth largest trading partner. The two countries are cooperating closely in many key areas such as transportation infrastructure and high-quality human resource training. Both countries are currently striving to cooperate to develop the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Japan to a new level, making it deeper, more substantive, and more effective.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Japan (1973-2023), and to review the research achievements and cooperation between Vietnam and Japan in the fields of social sciences and humanities, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, in collaboration with the Vietnam-Japan University under the Vietnam National University, Hanoi, is organizing an international scientific conference entitled "Vietnam-Japan Relations: Past - Present - Future".
Date: November 3, 2023
Venue: Nguy Nhu Kon Tum Hall, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, 19 Le Thanh Tong Street, Phan Chu Trinh Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi
Conference languages: Vietnamese and Japanese
Format: In-person and online (Zoom meeting software).
Seminar on Vietnam-Japan Relations: Past - Present - Future
The seminar brought together dozens of leading scientists and historians from universities and research institutes in Japan and Vietnam, as well as numerous young researchers, graduate students, and doctoral candidates from Japan and Vietnam, to exchange and share research findings on the historical diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Through in-depth and meticulous research by domestic and foreign scholars, we will contribute to systematizing and updating the documents and research results of many years by Vietnamese and Japanese scholars on the history of the two countries (Vietnamese studies in Japan and Japanese studies in Vietnam), thereby sharing and enhancing mutual understanding between the people of the two countries.
At this conference, scientists will also suggest new research directions, methods, and approaches to the study of history in Vietnam and Japan, thereby promoting the development of history science and education in both countries.
