Meeting to exchange cooperation opportunities with Japan in the fields of Agro-forestry and maritime product At the meeting, Mr. Vice chairman
introduced the potential and advantages of Thai Nguyen focusing on
agro-forestry. There is university of agro-forestry where thousands of
students are trained every year. Besides, Thai Nguyen has advantages of
land areas and pedology; hardworking people.
Representatives of Japan associations
and vocational village also introduced their advantages, especially in
term of agriculture, requirements for students to study in Japan.
Accordingly, first of all, Japan will receive 20 students from Thai
Nguyen. This is considered as the pilot plan. If it is effective, Japan
will continue receiving more students in order to replace the existing
sources in these associations (currently, there are approximately
700-900 international employees working for these associations, however,
the result does not meet the expectation). Japan clarified their
opinion that those who are chosen have to meet the requirements from
Japan. They are not allowed to discontinue the contract to go out for
working, going home when the contract terminates. For further
information as requested by Thai Nguyen, Japan informed the students
will stay with Japanese family. Monthly expense will be around 4
million VND/person. For students who stay in 7 months, each one will be
paid 190 million VND/month on average. After monthly expense, they can
save 150-160 million VND…
For the effective cooperation, Mr. Doan
Van Tuan suggested that instead of sending the junior and senior, the
province can send the graduated. Mr. Tuan also suggested that the
following December to April is the period of freezing climate, Japan can
send experts to transfer technology to farmers in Thai Nguyen in the
rice fields. Japan agreed with this suggestion. In response to
invitation of Japan, Mr. Tuan accepted to visit some agro-forestry areas
in Japan in March or April 2016 when he arranges suitable time. This
cooperation will be continued discussing before the two sides sign
official agreements.
