At the meeting, H.E. Natsume Nagato expressed his gratitude to Ho Chi Minh City’s leadership for supporting the establishment of a Japanese-standard maternity dental clinic at Tu Du Hospital. This achievement resulted from the close and effective cooperation between Ho Chi Minh City and Nagoya.
In the upcoming time, Nagoya will continue to strengthen its relationship with Ho Chi Minh City through two projects, comprising the recovery of precious metals from waste in public hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City and a project to prevent medical incidents through Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding of the Japanese Government.
Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Nguyen Van Duoc highly appreciated Honorary Consul Natsume Nagato’s efforts in enhancing relations between Japanese localities and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as the broader Vietnam-Japan relationship.

Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc agreed to support the new projects initiated by Honorary Consul Natsume Nagato and urged relevant agencies in HCMC to coordinate their implementation.
The city's leadership is ready to facilitate and accelerate the completion of the projects.
