Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed his readiness on Saturday to work alongside Vietnamese leaders to deepen strategic mutual trust, strengthen practical cooperation, and achieve new milestones in building a China-Vietnam community with a shared future of strategic significance.
Xi, who is also the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made these remarks while exchanging congratulations with General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee To Lam and Vietnamese President Luong Cuong on the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
“China and Vietnam, two friendly socialist neighbors, represent a community with a shared future that carries strategic significance,” Xi said.
Reflecting on the 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Xi noted that both countries have stood side by side, supporting each other in their struggles for national independence and liberation. He added, “So profound is the friendship between Vietnam and China, because we are both comrades and brothers,” highlighting the deep bond between the two parties and countries.
In their pursuit of socialism, China and Vietnam have learned from each other and advanced together, thereby deepening their comprehensive strategic cooperation. Xi emphasized that sharing the same ideals and pursuing a shared future is the most striking feature of the relations between the two parties and countries.
Recalling his successful visit to Vietnam in 2023, Xi said that both sides pledged to work towards a China-Vietnam community with a shared future of strategic significance, elevating bilateral relations to a new stage.
Amid unprecedented changes unfolding in the world, Xi stressed that China and Vietnam’s continued commitment to the path of socialism is significant for the future of both parties and countries, as well as the global socialist cause. This commitment, he noted, is crucial for the peace, stability, development, and prosperity of the region and the world at large.
Xi affirmed his dedication to strengthening bilateral relations and expressed his willingness to collaborate with Vietnamese leaders during the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties and the China-Vietnam Year of People-to-People Exchanges. He urged both nations to keep in mind their original mission and forge ahead on the new journey toward socialist modernization, aiming to deliver greater benefits to their peoples and contribute significantly to the revitalization of the global socialist cause and human development.
