Japan enters into nuclear co-operation agreement with Vietnam
Japan has entered into an agreement with Vietnam to co-operate on nuclear power plant technologies and materials.
"We've reached a substantial agreement... Both sides hope to work together towards a quick signing and conclusion of the deal," Japanese Foreign Minister Seiji Maehara told a news conference.
The deal also includes a framework to prevent Vietnam from supplying Japanese nuclear technology to other countries, and the deal also stipulates that the technology and materials must only be used for peaceful purposes.
