Since its establishment, Japan Desk has implemented many activities such as welcoming and supporting Japanese businesses to examine Danang's investment environment, publishing Danang Investment Newsletters in Japanese, translating and sending new legal updates to Japanese companies, building a database of potential Japanese investors...
