Việt Nam has called for closer cooperation with Japan's Daiwa Securities Group to develop its capital market, attract high-quality, long-term investment and strengthen financial connectivity between the two countries.

During his working visit to Japan, Minister of Finance Ngô Văn Tuấn met with Daiwa Securities Group executives to discuss cooperation in capital market development, international fundraising and investment promotion.

Tuấn thanked Daiwa for hosting the Vietnamese delegation and said the meeting provided an opportunity to review bilateral cooperation and discuss future priorities under the Việt Nam-Japan Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

He highlighted Daiwa's contributions to Việt Nam's financial market, including sharing international financial market information and expertise, organising training programmes to strengthen the professional capabilities of Ministry of Finance (MoF) officials and supporting investment promotion activities.

The group has also worked with the ministry to promote Việt Nam's investment and business environment and connect businesses and financial institutions in both countries.

Tuấn said Việt Nam is accelerating economic restructuring, renewing its growth model and deepening integration into international financial markets. The country aims to achieve double-digit economic growth from 2026 to 2030 and become a developed, high-income country by 2045.

Achieving these targets will require increasing resources for development investment, particularly medium- and long-term capital, he said.

As a result, developing a coordinated, transparent and modern domestic capital market, while improving access to international financial resources, is increasingly important.

Việt Nam thus hopes to continue receiving experience and support from reputable financial institutions with international expertise, including Daiwa, the minister said.

He called on the group to work more closely with the MoF to strengthen financial market links between Việt Nam and Japan and attract high-quality, long-term investment from Japan and other international markets.

Tuấn also encouraged Daiwa to share international experience in capital market development and modernisation, help improve market governance and cooperate in technical assistance and workforce training. The group was also asked to support research into diversifying international fundraising channels.

Daiwa representatives welcomed the minister and the Vietnamese delegation, expressing confidence in Việt Nam's economic and capital market prospects.

According to the group, its global institutional investor network has a positive assessment of Việt Nam's growth potential, macroeconomic stability and investment opportunities, particularly in infrastructure, energy transition, green growth and the digital economy.

Building on its long-standing presence in Việt Nam, Daiwa reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the development of the country's capital market.

The group said it would continue working with the MoF on investment promotion and connecting Japanese and international investors with opportunities in Việt Nam to attract high-quality, long-term capital.

It also pledged to strengthen cooperation in training, international knowledge-sharing and technical assistance for capital market development, improved market governance and international fundraising.

The cooperation is expected to contribute to closer economic and financial ties between Việt Nam and Japan.
