‘This visit right after our national legislative sessions demonstrates the priority we place on Vietnam relations,’ Wang Yi remarked, pointing to the seamless continuity in high-level diplomacy.

Building on President Xi Jinping’s recent conversation with General Secretary To Lam post-Vietnam’s party congress, the two sides are set to activate pivotal forums. These include the first ‘3+3’ ministerial dialogue covering diplomacy, defense, and security, as well as the 17th bilateral cooperation committee meeting.

Wang Yi urged leveraging these platforms to delve into development-security synergies, outline socialist advancement strategies, and broadcast a message of solidarity and shared prosperity globally.

As emerging powerhouses, China and Vietnam’s trajectories illuminate paths for global development, he observed, promising insights for other developing nations.

Looking forward, Wang Yi expressed China’s eagerness for sustained elite interactions, expanded pragmatic partnerships, vibrant public exchanges, robust multilateral efforts, prudent maritime handling, and mutual backing for APEC hosting to foster an Asia-Pacific community of shared future.

The meeting highlights a maturing relationship poised to influence regional dynamics significantly.

During the discussions, Xi praised the exemplary practice of mutual political briefings between the two parties, a tradition that exemplifies their profound camaraderie and trust. He noted the fruitful consensus achieved in his recent dialogue with To Lam on forging a closer China-Vietnam future community.

Xi stressed how both countries’ advances in socialist development vividly illustrate the system’s enduring strength to the world. China stands ready to enhance people-to-people exchanges, expand multifaceted cooperation, handle divergences constructively, and propel forward the shared future vision.

The Vietnamese envoy affirmed Vietnam’s unwavering commitment to prioritizing ties with China, expressing eagerness to collaborate for breakthroughs in bilateral relations.

Set against the backdrop of rising regional tensions, this interaction signals renewed vigor in Sino-Vietnamese partnership, promising advancements in trade volumes exceeding $100 billion annually and joint ventures in green energy and digital economy sectors.

Xi commended the CPV’s unwavering commitment since the 13th National Congress to a socialist modernization model suited to Vietnam’s realities. This approach has fortified the party’s leadership, driving impressive progress in national renewal and socialist building, while boosting Vietnam’s international profile.

The triumph of the 14th National Congress, Xi observed, ushers in a transformative phase for Vietnam’s growth, offering momentum to the worldwide socialist cause.

Xi voiced optimism that To Lam’s leadership will rally Vietnam’s populace to achieve new heights in governance and party work, effectively implementing the congress’s ambitious agenda.

As socialist neighbors with historic friendship and a shared destiny, China and Vietnam enjoy a pivotal partnership. Xi reaffirmed Beijing’s commitment to deepening this relationship through enhanced strategic dialogue, mutual support in socialist paths, and collaborative construction of a closer community with a shared future for cooperation. Such advancements promise welfare for both populations and positive impacts on peace and prosperity across the region and beyond.
