He also highlighted several sectors with strong potential for cooperation, particularly agriculture, which is being developed through the application of high technology, safe production methods, and sustainable organic practices aimed at expanding exports to international markets, including Japan.

He proposed that the ambassador continue supporting Son La in connecting with Japanese businesses interested in investing in high-tech agriculture, agricultural processing, tourism, and renewable energy. He also called for enhanced cooperation in human resource development, education, employment, and trade promotion, as well as support for the implementation of Official Development Assistance (ODA) projects, particularly those focusing on disaster-resilient rural development and urban wastewater treatment in the province.
