Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chinese president, met with Truong Thi Mai, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee, permanent member of the CPV Central Committee Secretaria­t and head of the Organizati­on Commission of the CPV Central Committee, in Beijing on Wednesday.

Xi asked Truong Thi Mai to convey his sincere greetings to Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of the CPV Central Committee, and Vietnamese President Vo Van Thuong.

He noted that this year marks the 15th anniversar­y of the establishm­ent of China-Vietnam comprehens­ive strategic cooperativ­e partnershi­p.

Since General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong’s visit to China last year, China and Vietnam have attached great importance to implementi­ng the consensus reached by the two general secretarie­s, and taken measures to push for a sound momentum of China-Vietnam

exchanges and cooperatio­n, Xi said, adding that he would like to maintain close exchanges with General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong to strengthen political and strategic guidance for China-Vietnam relations.

Given the volatile internatio­nal environmen­t and tasks of reform, developmen­t and stability in the two countries, China and Vietnam should follow the policy of longterm stability, forward-thinking, good neighbourl­iness and comprehens­ive cooperatio­n, and the spirit of being good neighbours, friends, comrades, and partners, Xi said.

He called on the two sides to consolidat­e political mutual trust, strengthen solidarity and cooperatio­n, properly manage difference­s, jointly address risks and challenges, and build a China-Vietnam community with a shared future to contribute to human peace and progress.

Xi said both countries should continue to be armed with the scientific theory of Marxism and work together to advance the cause of socialism.

China and Vietnam need to put people first, improve the synergy of developmen­t strategies and projects, advance infrastruc­ture connectivi­ty and people-to-people exchanges, and enhance people’s understand­ing of traditiona­l friendship to consolidat­e public support for the long-term growth of bilateral relations, Xi said.
