Governor of Nagasaki Houdou Nakamura said he anticipates further co-operation in the fields of human resource education, investment and heritage preservation and more exchanges on culture and visits between the two sides.

The two sides also discussed the recruitment of workers from Quang Nam for the medical sector in Nagasaki in the coming years.

A delegation of 80 businesses from Nagasaki also took part in the visit to the province, seeking investment opportunities.

Last year, the central province also organised an investment promotion programme in Nagasaki, aimed at increasing Japanese investment in the province in the coming years.

The central province has attracted six investment projects from Japan worth US$52 million, of which $36.6 million came from Vina-Mazda automobile maker.

Japan has provided $366 million of the Official Development Assistance funds for the province's development projects.
