As the world undergoes unprecedented changes, Xi stated that China and Vietnam's continued commitment to the path of socialism bears on the future of both parties and countries, as well as the global socialist cause. It is of great significance to regional and global peace, stability, development, and prosperity.

He called for keeping in mind the original mission and forging ahead on the journey toward socialist modernization, delivering more benefits to the two peoples and contributing to the revitalization of the global socialist cause and human development.
