Additionally, An Phat Holdings has developed sustainable co-operative ties with leading Japanese groups such as Honda and Toyota in the supporting industry field.

Duong said that the meeting with the delegates from Kagoshima prefecture helps the company acquire a better insight into the Japanese market and policies, especially those of Kagoshima prefecture, which will allow them to craft suitable policies to approach the market.
