Chinh suggested the two sides step up all-level delegation exchange, strengthen and deepen the substantive, mutually beneficial cooperation across spheres, and intensify the sharing of experience in Party building and national management, as well as people-to-people exchange.
Vietnam and China should closely and effective coordinate at multilateral forums, and satisfactorily handle differences in the spirit of friendship, matching high-level common perceptions and international law, he emphasised.
The PM expressed his hope that the legislatures will create a favourable legal foundation for, and urge ministries, agencies and localities to actively materialise the high-level common perceptions, as well as signed documents and agreements, while boosting collaboration in different fields, helping promote the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.
Chinh said the substantive legislative cooperation forms an important part of the relations between the two Parties and countries, and suggested the NA and the NPC maintain the exchange of delegations between its committees and all-level People’s Councils, carry forward the role as a friendship bridge of the two friendship parliamentarians groups, and enhance experience exchange.
He conveyed the invitation of the Vietnamese top legislator to China’s young parliamentarians to attend the ninth Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians to be hosted by the Vietnamese NA in Hanoi from September 14-18.
For his part, Zhao affirmed the geographical proximity between the two countries, and their similarities in development ideals and paths, saying the exchange of experience in Party building and national management and the deepening of the friendly neighbourliness and comprehensive cooperation match aspirations of the two countries’ people.
Agreeing with PM Chinh’s proposals, he stressed that maintaining the Vietnam-China solidarity and friendship is a practical need, enabling the two countries to firmly step towards socialism and prosperity.
China attaches importance to developing the cooperation and friendship with Vietnam, and stands ready to work together with the country in realising the reached agreements and high-level common perceptions, thus advancing the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership to a new height, he noted.
The NPC is also willing to foster and deepen the friendship and practical cooperation with the Vietnamese NA, Zhao affirmed./.
