HANOI (AFP): Japan's Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko were welcomed on Thursday (Sept 21) in Hanoi by lines of flag-waving schoolchildren, as they began a visit marking the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
The royal couple laid wreaths at the mausoleum of late president Ho Chi Minh, before heading to the former home -- a traditional stilt house -- of the revolutionary leader and feeding fish in a pond outside.
The two nations have maintained close diplomatic and trade ties, with Japan considered one of Vietnam's most important economic partners. The couple's five-day trip will see them tour the central city of Danang, as well as Quang Nam province, where Japanese business people came to trade in the 16th century.
