PM hosts leader of Yunnan provincial Party Committee
Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh underlined the importance of the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership in Vietnam’s external policy during a reception in Hanoi on March 28 for Wang Ning, Secretary of the Yunnan provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the provincial People's Congress.
The talk between PM Chinh and his guest focused on measures to tap the potential and
strengths of both sides and further promote bilateral cooperation, especially
between Vietnamese localities and Yunnan province in the near future.
PM Chinh highlighted the need to continue concretising the common view of Vietnamese Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and
Chinese Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping on taking the Vietnam-China
relations into a new development phase with higher political trust, more practical
and effective cooperation and a stronger friendship foundation.
He wished
that the two countries’ ministries, agencies and localities would maintain
regular exchanges, effectively make use of existing
cooperation, and actively promote friendly exchanges between mass
organisations in border areas to raise mutual understanding and trust.
The PM also wanted to expand mutually-beneficial cooperation focusing on making breakthroughs in economic-trade ties, road and railway transport
connectivity, tourism and education. He asked Yunnan to improve the efficiency of customs clearance for goods at border
gates, import more high-quality farm produce and aquatic products from Vietnam, and create favourable conditions for Vietnamese firms
to join international trade fairs in Yunnan.
The Vietnamese government leader urged tightening coordination in border protection and
management in
accordance with the three legal documents on the Vietnam-China land border and
related agreements, so as to jointly build a borderline of peace, stability
and development.
Wang, who is also member of the Communist Party of China
Central Committee, affirmed that the Party organisation, authorities and people of Yunnan will partner with Vietnamese border localities to well implement the common perceptions of leaders of the two Parties and countries; maintain
all-level exchanges, discuss infrastructure connectivity projects, boost
economic and trade ties, including importing more
farm produce from Vietnam, and develop coordination in agriculture and
tourism./.
