Hanoi (VNA) – General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee and President To Lam received Liu Ning, member of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Secretary of the CPC Committee of China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, in Hanoi on August 28.

Welcoming the Guangxi delegation, the host highly valued their working visit to Vietnam, which he said will help promote border localities’ leading role in realising the latest common perceptions reached between the two Parties and countries’ leaders about further enhancing the Vietnam - China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and promoting the building of a community of shared future.

He affirmed his respect for the long-standing friendship between the two Parties and countries. He noted that Guangxi witnessed many cooperation activities of the two countries’ revolutions, thanking the Party organisation, administration, and people of Guangxi for preserving the relic sites connected with President Ho Chi Minh and the revolution of Vietnam.

Lam also mentioned his successful state visit to China as well as the important common perceptions reached between him and General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and President Xi Jinping, as well as other key leaders of China.

The top leaders of the two Parties and countries attach importance and give the top priority to the development of bilateral relations. They always give great attention to bolstering friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation between the countries’ border localities, including between Guangxi and northeastern border provinces of Vietnam, he added. General Secretary and President Lam highly valued Guangxi taking the lead in economic and trade ties with Vietnam for many years.

He asked this province and border localities of Vietnam to continue maintaining and bringing into play exchange mechanisms; boost result-oriented collaboration in economy, trade, investment, and digital transformation; and together properly manage and build a Vietnam - China border of peace, stability, friendship, cooperation, and development, thereby helping further intensify relations between the two Parties and countries.

For his part, Liu emphasised that the common perceptions shared by the top leaders of the two Parties and countries provide an important prerequisite for promoting bilateral relations to a new height, including the friendship and cooperation between Guangxi and all-level authorities, sectors, and localities of Vietnam.

He said Guangxi will actively grasp the common perceptions, the Vietnam - China joint statement, and the 14 cooperation documents signed during his host’s recent visit to China so as to further strengthen the countries’ comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and contribute to the building of a community of shared future.

It is ready to keep working closely with border localities of Vietnam to step up friendship exchanges; foster result-oriented and mutually beneficial cooperation, particularly in economy, trade, investment, tourism, education - training, and people-to-people links; together manage the shared borderline; and properly carry out the three legal documents on land border management between the two countries, thus maintaining a border of peace, stability, friendship, cooperation, and development, the Chinese official remarked./.
