Hanoi (VNA) – In the context of a rapidly changing world with increasing risks and challenges, China and Vietnam, as companions on the path of building socialism, need to unit🌳e and cooperate even more closely to together promote peace and development, said Chinese Premier Li Qiang.
In his speech delivered as soon as he arrived at the Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi on October 12 for a three-day official visit to Vietnam at the invitation of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Li said that China and Vietnam boast a long-lasting traditional friendship. In recent years, under the strategic guidance of the leaders of the two countries, the relationship has developed strongly, the good friendship and neighbourliness further reinforced, and the mutually beneficial cooperation deepened, he stated.
He recalled General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chinese President Xi Jinping's historic visit to Vietnam late last year, saying it brought China-Vietnam relations to a new era of building the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance. The people of the two countries have been becoming more connected and closer, standing side by side on the path of modernisation in each country.
Since the beginning of this year, China and Vietnam have maintained close high-level exchanges and achieved positive cooperation results across various fields, Li said.
The building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future have had a good start. General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and President Xi had a discussion with his Vietnamese counterpart To Lam during the latter's visit to China in August, outlining strategies to comprehensively advance the building of the China-Vietnam community with a shared future in the new context as well as clearer orientations for the development of the bilateral relations.
"China always regards Vietnam as a priority in its neighbourhood diplomacy policy," he reiterated, adding during this visit, he hopes for in-depth discussions with Vietnamese leaders regarding the realisation of the important common perceptions reached by the high-ranking leaders of both parties and countries.
China and Vietnam will work together to enhance the traditional friendship, strengthen strategic exchanges, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, reinforce the foundation of friendship between their people, and promote the building of the China-Vietnam community with a shared future in a practical way, bringing more benefits to the people of both countries and contributing to peace, stability, and prosperous development in the region and the world, the Chinese Premier noted./.
