A support group for Vietnamese residents in Japan has been established in Tokyo, aiming to help them land lawful jobs and ease their difficulties in daily life, amid concerns about some who turn to crime.
The Vietnam Mutual Aid Association in Japan says it will provide language support to help with work, health and visa matters, among other issues.
Some of the problems faced by Vietnamese in Japan could be avoided if accurate information and appropriate advice was available, wrote Mika Yamamoto, the 30-year-old executive director of the group, in a statement.
