He noted that while the two countries will celebrate the 45th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties next year, bilateral exchanges dated back more than 1,000 years ago, when monk Phat Triet brought the Lam Ap dances with him from Vietnam to Japan’s Nara in the 8th century.
Nearly 170,000 Vietnamese are currently living and working in Japan. Last year, more than 200,000 Vietnamese visited Japan and more than 700,000 Japanese traveled to Vietnam.
