  • Story Text: Former Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshito Sengoku met Vietnamese officials in Hanoi on Friday (February 25) for talks on bilateral cooperation on nuclear power plant technologies in Vietnam.
    Sengoku attended separate meetings with Vietnam's Minister of Industry and Trade Vu Huy Hoang and Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
    He was scheduled to meet Vietnam's standing member of the Communist party Politburo Secretariat Truong Tan Sang on Saturday (February 26).
    In October 2010 Japan said it had agreed with Vietnam to cooperate on nuclear power plant technologies and materials, as Tokyo competes with nuclear exporters such as France and South Korea.
    Sengoku, who held the post of chief cabinet secretary at the time, said the framework of the deal includes rules to restrict Vietnam from supplying Japanese nuclear technology to other countries.
    Japan, the world's third-biggest nuclear power generator after the United States and France, is stepping up efforts to tap the nuclear power development market.
    Japan has also concluded nuclear cooperation agreements with Canada, China, Australia and the United States.
