Hanoi (VNA) – A high-level delegation of Hanoi, led by Vice Secretary of its Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong, recently held talks with Yuan Gujie, member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong provincial Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee.
Phong affirmed that Hanoi attaches importance to its relations with China in general and Chinese localities in particular, including Guangdong province, and the visit aims to concretise directions by the two sides’ leaders.
