Since 2013, leaders of the two ministries have met 6 times in the framework of the Vietnam - Japan Vice-Ministerial Security Dialogue.

Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung suggested that, in the coming time, the two sides continue increase exchange of delegations at all levels, cooperate in human resource training as well as fight against cyber-crime and terrorism.

The Vietnamese head delegate also wished the Japanese side would aid the Vietnamese police firefighting means and equipment. He stressed the need to set up a representative office of the two ministries in each country.

For his part, Mr. Tsuyuki Yasuhiro also agreed with Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung’s ideas and requested that the two sides should enhance information sharing and cooperation in crime control in the coming time.
