Since 1950s, Japan provides ''Official development assistance'' (ODA) to the developing countries, which has a profound and long-term operation in ASEAN countries. Vietnam used to be the largest ODA recipient country of the ASEAN, while Japan is the largest aid country of Vietnam. With the rapid economic growth of Vietnam, the type of ODA that Japan provides to Vietnam has gradually changed. Therefore, understanding the strategy of Japan-Vietnam ODA is helpful to realize the context in Japanese ODA policy. This article analyzes the history of Japanese ODA, Japanese- Vietnamese ODA strategy, and to provide an implication of New Southbound Policy toward Taiwan-Japan cooperation. The results found that Japan's ODA strategy in recent years inclines to ODA loans and grants to promote technical cooperation with private participation, in order to assist developing countries in solving social problems. It can avoid the international community's criticism of ''Tied assistance.'' The Japanese- Vietnamese ODA strategy also extends from the supply-side perspective of ''financial assistance to drive technological cooperation'' to the demand-side development model of ''technical cooperation and cooperation to guide financial assistance.'' It can promote the application of Japan's long-accumulated social problem-solving technology and institutional management system in Vietnam. This paper also summarizes two cooperation opportunities between Taiwan and Japan rooted on Japanese-Vietnamese ODA projects. First is to form a complementary cooperation mechanism between Taiwan and Japan's industries and to jointly explore the follow-up business opportunities of Vietnam's infrastructure. Second is to encourage Taiwan's industry, academia, and research communities to cooperate with members of the ''Grassroots Partnership Program'' promoted by JICA, so that can form a co-creation mechanism of technology and talents to solve social problems in Vietnam. |
