At the launching ceremony of the Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Club in Nha Trang City on June 26, 2024, Japanese State Minister Yasuhide Nakayama, BGF Chief in Japan, unveiled an ambitious proposal known as the Nha Trang Heart Initiative. This initiative aims to foster closer ties between the residents of Nha Trang City and key cities in Japan, particularly Tokyo and Osaka, by promoting collaboration in technology, education, business, tourism, and culture. Emphasizing a blend of Japanese values such as ethics, humility, responsibility, reliability, fairness, and kindness with Vietnamese qualities of openness, dynamism, adaptability, friendliness, and warmth, the initiative seeks to create symbolic characters in the Age of AI within the AI World Society framework. This initiative is a part of the Shinzo Abe Initiative for Peace and Security, reflecting Japan’s commitment to cooperation and mutual understanding, from regional issues of the Indo-Pacific to global challenges.
