China will consistently attach great importance to the development of China-Vietnam relations, said Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chinese president, on Wednesday.
Xi made the remarks when meeting with Le Hoai Trung, special envoy of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee, To Lam, in Beijing. Trung is a member of the Political Bureau of the CPV Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam.
Xi said the CPC and the CPV have maintained the fine tradition of reciprocal notification of their respective major political agendas. This practice embodies the unique and friendly bond of comrades and brothers of the two countries, as well as their strong political mutual trust.
Xi said during his recent phone talks with Lam, the two sides exchanged in-depth views on further promoting the building of a China-Vietnam community with a shared future of strategic significance and reached an important consensus.
It is believed that under the strong leadership of the CPV Central Committee headed by Lam, the Party, the country, and the people of Vietnam will accomplish the goals and tasks set at the 14th National Congress of the CPV, Xi said.
Xi said China and Vietnam have made vigorous progress in all aspects of socialist development, demonstrating the vitality and vigor of the socialist system.
China is willing to work with Vietnam to follow the policy of long-term stability, forward thinking, good neighborliness and comprehensive cooperation, and the spirit of being good neighbors, good friends, good comrades, and good partners, Xi said.
He said China also stands ready to work with Vietnam to implement high-level consensus, carry forward traditional friendship, deepen exchanges at all levels and cooperation in all fields, properly manage differences, and promote the development of a China-Vietnam community with a shared future.
Trung conveyed Lam’s reply letter of gratitude to Xi, along with a verbal message. Trung said that Vietnam consistently regards consolidating and developing relations with China as the top priority in its foreign policy and stands ready to move forward hand in hand with China on a new journey of development.
Guided by the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two Parties and two countries, both sides should reinforce the political, material, and public support foundations for bilateral relations, elevate Vietnam-China relations to new heights, and deliver greater benefits to the people of both countries, Trung said.
