In the past, the cities of Yokohama and Sakai (Japan) helped Da Nang transform its "green" industries by constructing a carbon-neutral model at Da Nang Port and industrial parks.

Also, Da Nang and Sakai set up cooperation in 2009, and the two sides promoted friendship ties in 2019.

Da Nang has inked friendship and cooperation deals with Kisarazu, Kawasaki, Sakai and Yokohama, and the city has hosted the annual Vietnam-Japan Cultural Exchange Day since 2014. Japanese investors poured 1.04 billion USD into 228 projects in Da Nang. According to VIetnamplus, cities in Japan including Yokohama, Maebashi, Chiba, Fukuoka, Shizuoka and Nagasaki; more than 120 businesses and 13 universities from Japan had inked agreements on manpower recruitment and internship agreements with Da Nang city’s Dong A University.
