Vietnamese President Luong Cuong arrived in Beijing on Tuesday to participate in events marking the 80th anniversary of China's victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The visit underscores shared historical experiences between the two neighbors and comes amid strengthened bilateral cooperation.
The commemoration, hosted by Chinese authorities, honors sacrifices made during the global conflict that shaped modern Asia. Analysts note the timing aligns with recent efforts to deepen economic and diplomatic ties between China and Vietnam, particularly in trade and infrastructure development.
"Such symbolic gestures reinforce mutual understanding," said Zhou Wei, a historian at Peking University. "Remembering this chapter of history provides context for current regional partnerships."
President Luong's itinerary includes meetings with Chinese officials, with discussions expected to address cross-border connectivity projects and digital economy collaboration. The visit follows Vietnam's recent participation in China-led regional security initiatives.
