Addressing the event, Hoang Chi Trung, Vietnamese Consul General to Hong Kong and Macau, highlighted the two nations’ traditional neighbourliness and friendship which were nurtured by Presidents Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong and leaders of both countries and inherited and cultivated by generations of Vietnamese and Chinese people.
The Vietnamese government, Party and people always bear in mind the great support of China during her past struggles for national independence and the current construction cause, he added.
He said while the two countries still have differences regarding the East Sea issue, which is a complicated matter left by history, he believed that the two countries will soon figure out an appropriate long-term solution to the issue based on the common perceptions reached by their leaders and with the determination and efforts of both sides.
Tong Xiaoling, Deputy Commissioner of the Commissioner's Office of China's Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong, underlined the commitment of developing China-Vietnam relationship in the motto of “friendly neighbourliness, comprehensive cooperation, long-term stability and looking towards the future,” and in the spirit of “good neighbours, good friends, good comrades and good partners”.
