Viac o knihe

The paper explores Japan's cautious approach to strengthening political and trade relations with Vietnam, driven by Vietnam's suspicions regarding Japanese economic influence and its ties to the United States. It details key events, including Japan's economic missions to Vietnam in 1978 aimed at fostering trade and investment, and the subsequent slowdown of Japanese investments in 1987 due to external pressures. Despite ongoing challenges, including a freeze on economic aid, Japanese companies continued to seek opportunities in Vietnam by the end of 1989.
