Huong said that the group would like to co-operate with Japanese partners in the sectors of high-tech agriculture, processing technology, and healthcare.
In the healthcare sector alone, Huong attached great importance to caregiving, affirming that TH Group would like to send thousands of nurses and caregivers to Japan for studies so that they can return to Vietnam to work in local hospitals and use the country’s precious herbs to treat local patients with the highest service quality.
Huong also said that due to their cultural similarities, Japan and Vietnam are uniquely positioned to co-operate and develop a safe and environmentally-friendly agriculture.
According to her, Japan’s demand for safe farm produce is fast growing, and this is offering a big opportunity for Vietnamese products, including those produced by TH Group. Also, Japan can help Vietnam improve its processing technologies.
“We would like to co-operate and share our experiences with all of you here,” Huong said. “We are developing herb cultivating areas for products which will be exported to Japan, and we would also like to introduce Japanese products in the Vietnamese market. It all goes to improve the health of both countries’ people.”
Huong also expressed her determination of developing TH Group’s brand name as Japanese firms have been doing successfully in their foreign markets, which has won great confidence from consumers worldwide.
“Japanese firms have set their firm niches in the global market and we will try to follow suit carving out a space for the traditional goods our nation is proud of,” she said.
