Nguyễn Đình Cống

Translated by Nguyễn-Khoa Thái Anh

I’m taking liberty to boldly write here a few things that may be “hard to swallow” for Umeda Kunio, the author, as well as for some Vietnamese people, but I write with respect, with gratitude to the author, Mr. Umeda Kunio, and wish the best for the development of Vietnam.

Japanese author Umeda Kunio (TG), born in 1954, is a diplomat with extensive involvements in many countries, serving as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Vietnam from 2016 to 2020. His book was completed in May 2021, Nguyen Thi Lan Huong translates the book from Japanese to Vietnamese, World Publishing House published it in 2023.

The book is about the sentiments and deeds of the Government and people of Japan as well as of the author towards Vietnam. These are good feelings and good deeds about Vietnam’s economic development in the past few decades.

The book's table of contents includes: Publisher's Note, Introduction, Author's comments, Forewords, and the content consists of 7 chapters, each chapter is divided into sections, from 1 to 21, numbered consecutively through the chapters.
