For his part, Minister To Lam showed his pleasure to visit the JCG and its coastal patrol ship Matsunami, saying that he hopes JCG would continue to develop and fulfill tasks entrusted by the Japanese government and people.

Noting similarities between the JCG's tasks and the duties of the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security’s waterway police, Lam said the two forces should expand their cooperation; support each other in personnel training; promote the exchange of all-level delegations; and share experience and information in law enforcement at sea, preventing crimes, traffic patrol and control, fire prevention and search and rescue, and responding to natural disasters in internal waters and coastal areas.

The same day, Minister To Lam and the Ministry of Public Security’s high-ranking delegation left Tokyo, concluding their working visit to Japan./.
