However, all citizens of the two Southeast Asian countries would be quarantined
for 14 days at home or a designated location, according to Japan’s Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
Regarding the permission for businesspeople and those with the work purpose to
enter Japan, the ministry said it will continue coordinating with Vietnam and
Thailand via diplomatic channels to implement this programme as soon as possible
and announce immediately when reaching agreements.
Earlier, at a meeting on June 19, Minister Motegi said Japan and Vietnam have
reached an agreement on gradually and partially easing travelling restriction
measures between the two countries.
The two sides have been deliberating ways to carry out these measures via
diplomatic channels.
Minister Motegi told Vietnam News Agency’s correspondents that Japan has
selected Vietnam as one of the first four nations to relax travelling
restrictions, besides Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand, because of Vietnam’s
good containment of the COVID-19 and the big travelling demand between Vietnam
and Japan.
He expressed hopes the relaxation of immigration restrictions for Vietnam will
contribute to the strengthening of the bilateral comprehensive cooperative
partnership.
