At the prefectural level, Kanagawa has rolled out many favourable policies to boost trade with Vietnam. This was why a conference on trade and tourism promotion on July 13th in Hanoi was of great interest to many businesses from both countries.
There are an estimated 13,000 Vietnamese currently living and working in the prefecture. This community plays a vital role as the bridge between the 2 nations. Thus the Vietnamese Festival in Kanagawa is the biggest Vietnamese event in Japan, showcasing Vietnamese values to the Japanese.
