Former Ambassador Hiroshi Fukada said he is supporting Japanese businesses to seek cooperation opportunities in Vietnam, including WNI Company - a unit providing rain forecasting services for natural disaster prevention.

WNI representative informed that this is a system for monitoring and forecasting rainfall, erratic weather changes, and warning of natural disasters based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology. From there, it supports localities to respond promptly and take measures to mitigate risks caused by natural disasters.

After listening to the introduction, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Quang Buu highly appreciated and said that the forecasting system is very suitable for the reality of Quang Nam when it often suffers damage from storms, floods, and landslides. These types of natural disasters have a serious impact on socio-economic development and people's lives.

Sending best wishes to the former Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Vietnam and the working delegation, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Quang Buu hopes that Mr. Hiroshi Fukada will continue to be a bridge contributing to strengthening the friendly relations between Japan and Vietnam, especially with Quang Nam.
