The Chinese leader noted that since establishing diplomatic relations 75 years ago, both countries have collaborated closely, learning from each other in their pursuit of socialism. This cooperation has deepened their comprehensive strategic partnership and solidified their shared ideals and future, which Xi described as the most striking feature of their bilateral relations.
Reflecting on his successful visit to Vietnam in 2023, Xi recalled the mutual commitment made by both sides to work towards a China-Vietnam community with a shared future, elevating the relationship between the two parties and countries to a new stage.

He called for a joint effort to remember their original mission and forge ahead on the journey toward socialist modernization, aiming to deliver greater benefits to their peoples and make important contributions to the revitalization of the global socialist cause and human progress.
