Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang’s recent State visit to China has created a driving force for all-inclusive development between the two nations, noted Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam Kong Xuanyou on July 11.

Kong said at a press briefing in Hanoi on the outcomes of President Sang’s visit to China from June 19-21 that sea-related issue is the only unsolved matter in the two countries’ ties as both nations’ stances are different and divergent.

However, Kong added the two sides were unanimous on measures to properly settle emerging issues at sea so as not to impact on the development of bilateral ties.

At the press briefing, the Chinese Ambassador informed participants that the two sides agreed to lift two-way trade to 60 billion USD by 2015 ahead of schedule, which according to him, is an important goal.

Amid the current ailing global economy, the two nations should however strive to fulfil commitments reached in the past, he said.

According to Kong, the Chinese economy is maintaining its stable and sound growth. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), especially Vietnam, is one of China ’s key trading partners.-VNA
