He congratulated China on the successful organisation of the third plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee, believing that under the sound leadership of Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping, China will achieve its key objectives by the 80th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, turning China into a modern, prosperous, democratic, civilised, harmonious and beautiful socialist nation.
The Vietnamese Party and State highly value and give top priority to friendly and cooperative ties with China, support China's continued development, improvement of its international role and position, and positive contributions to regional cooperation and development, he said.
Wang, for his part, praised bilateral security and law enforcement cooperation with positive results.
The Chinese Ministry of Public Security is ready to work with the Vietnamese counterpart to effectively realise common perceptions reached by the two General Secretaries and Presidents, with a focus on deepening cooperation in security and law enforcement, he said.
Based on the joint statement reached during the visit, both sides agreed on the need to effectively carry out existing cooperation mechanisms between their ministries and build new ones.
They will focus collaboration on preventing economic crime, telecommunications fraud, human trafficking, cybersecurity, recovering assets from fugitives abroad, and combating illegal immigration. They will also ensure security and safety for each country's major events and high-level visits, strengthen cooperation in training personnel, share experience in digital transformation in professional work, deploy public security forces for the United Nations peacekeeping mission, and enhance legal enforcement cooperation within multilateral frameworks to build an environment of peace, stability, cooperation and development.
The same day, Quang held a working session with Chinese Minister of State Security Chen Yixin.
They pledged to continue facilitating the exchange of high-level delegations, sharing information about global and regional situation, preventing and addressing emerging non-traditional security challenges, with a focus on counter-terrorism, organised international crime, economic and cyber crimes.

The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
New Zealand is currently one of Vietnam’s most important partners in the region, marked by a high level of political trust, strong and reliable defence and security cooperation, and increasingly open economic, trade, and investment ties.
Party General Secretary To Lam stressed that the Central Public Security Party Committee must be fully aware of the extremely important role of the People's Public Security force in the country's new revolutionary phase, so as to guide each branch and level of the force as the nation undergoes transformation.
Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
The Chairman stressed the need for stricter fiscal discipline, faster digital transformation, and more efficient management of State budget revenues and expenditures.
The ministry has instructed Vietnamese representative agencies in Israel, Iran, as well as those in neighbouring countries, to closely monitor the situation and request local authorities to ensure absolute safety for Vietnamese citizens living, studying, and working in high-risk areas.
Senior Vietnamese leaders on June 19 sent letters of congratulations to New Zealand leaders on the occasion of the 50th founding anniversary of Vietnam – New Zealand diplomatic relations (June 19, 1975 – 2025).

General Nguyen Tan Cuong, Chief of the VPA’s General Staff and Deputy Minister of National Defence reaffirmed Vietnam’s unwavering gratitude for Cuba’s invaluable support during its struggle for independence and nation-building efforts, and pledged to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Cuba as it navigates current challenges.
Vietnam is a country with which Russia shares a special relationship. In the 1950s and 60s, particularly during Vietnam’s struggle for independence, the two countries forged a deep bond. While much has changed over time, the friendship and cooperation between our nations have endured, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
For 50 years, Vietnam and New Zealand have worked together to uphold peace and prosperity for their peoples and the region. The friendship, cooperation, and mutual understanding Vietnam and New Zealand nurtured have grown from a seed into a deeply rooted, strong, and thriving tree, she stressed.
Since the Strategic Partnership was established in 2020, Vietnam and New Zealand have witnessed steady growth in the relations. Beyond the remarkable 40% increase in bilateral trade over five years, political relations and multilateral interactions, particularly within the CPTPP framework, have remained highly positive.
