Vietnam is strengthening its strategic partnerships with Japan and Canada, focusing on high-tech sectors and economic growth.

Relations with Japan are entering a new phase of cooperation in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and finance. Bilateral trade is performing strongly, with an eight-month turnover of 38.6 billion USD and a projection to reach nearly 60 billion USD for the full year. Additionally, Japan and Vietnam are planning 15 pilot energy projects worth approximately 20 billion USD under the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) framework.

Simultaneously, Vietnam is advancing its relationship with Canada. President To Lam is scheduled to conduct a state visit to Canada to deepen ties in science, technology, and innovation, including artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and clean energy. Economic cooperation remains a highlight, with bilateral trade reaching 8.6 billion USD in 2025, supported by the CPTPP agreement. Experts have also proposed connecting the technological ecosystems of Vietnam and Canada to foster a shared innovation environment.
