A get-together was held in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on October 1 to celebrate the 64th National Day of China.
Addressing the event, Standing Deputy Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Le Hung Dung said the Vietnam-China diplomatic ties have come a long way over the past 64 years.
He said the friendship between Vietnam and China is a common treasure of the people in both countries, hailing the important common perceptions reached by the two nations’ leaders on developing Vietnam-China links over the past years.
Numerous Chinese firms have recently helped drive Can Tho’s socio-economic development. The city and China’s Shantou city in Guangdong province struck a cooperation deal as part of efforts to bolster ties between Vietnam and China.
Earlier, Dung received newly-appointed Chinese Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City Chai Wenrui, during which he voiced his wish that more Chinese firms will do business in the city.
