Seminar introducing Kanagawa Prefecture in Da Nang 2026

Also in attendance at the seminar were Vice Chairwoman of the Da Nang People's Committee Nguyen Thi Anh Thi, Consul General of Japan in Da Nang Mori Takero, and Director General of the Kanagawa Prefectural Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism Akira Imai.

The event was co-organized by the Da Nang Department of Foreign Affairs, the Kanagawa Prefectural Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the International Affairs Division under the Policy Bureau of the Kanagawa Prefectural Goverment, and Mori Kosan Co., Ltd.

The seminar focused on providing an overview of Kanagawa Prefecture's culture, tourism, potential, and strengths. In particular, it delivered valuable insights into Kanagawa's training facilities, educational programs, academic opportunities, work environments, and career prospects.

Within the seminar framework, the final round of the Japanese-language speech and presentation contest among the high schools and universities in Da Nang took place enthusiastically, drawing widespread interest from pupils and students.

Speaking at the event, Vice Chairwoman of the Da Nang People's Committee Nguyen Thi Anh Thi emphasized that cooperative ties between Da Nang and Kanagawa Prefecture, and between Vietnam and Japan in general, have been increasingly strengthened through a series of exchange and networking activities.

The Kanagawa Prefectural Government’s continued hosting of the promotional event in Da Nang for five consecutive years is a clear demonstration of its commitment and goodwill towards fostering a long-term partnership between the two sides.

The event served not only to promote the image of Kanagawa Prefecture but also acted as a bridge for citizens, businesses, and educational institutions from both localities to further expand their cooperation in culture, education, human resource development, and tourism.

The Vice Chairwoman said, looking ahead, the Da Nang People's Committee hoped to maintain close coordination with the Kanagawa Prefectural Government and Japanese partners to sustain and advance ongoing exchange activities.

Alongside, the central Vietnamese city expected to broaden connections between agencies and businesses from both localities, moving toward specific cooperation programs in investment, science, innovation, entrepreneurship, finance, and high-quality human resource development.
