Vietnam boosts win-win cooperation with China’s Jiangsu province
Beijing (VNA) – Vietnamese Ambassador to China Pham Sao Mai met
with Governor of Jiangsu province Wu Zhenglong on October 12 to discuss
measures aimed at boosting the cooperation between Vietnamese localities and
the Chinese province.
Mai spoke highly of the outcomes of the collaboration
between Jiangsu and Vietnamese localities, especially in economics, trade,
investment and people-to-people exchange.
Potential for bilateral cooperation remains huge, he noted,
welcoming Jiangsu province to continue expanding cooperation mechanisms with
Vietnamese localities to foster win-win collaboration.
He proposed the Jiangsu administration to continue facilitating
Vietnamese citizens and businesses, boosting economic and trade cooperation, and
importing Vietnam’s advantageous products.
Vietnam welcomes Jiangsu’s big enterprises to invest in the
country in the fields that the province holds strength such as manufacturing,
supporting industry, infrastructure and high-quality agriculture, Mai added.
Wu agreed with the Vietnamese diplomat’s proposals,
affirming that Jiangsu attaches importance to its relations with Vietnam and
hopes to, together with Vietnamese localities, realise common perceptions of
the two countries’ senior leaders.
Two-way trade between Vietnam and Jiangsu surpassed 18
billion USD in 2019, and hit 14 billion USD in the first eight months of 2020,
a year-on-year rise of 25.5 percent. As of late 2019, the Chinese province had
run over 200 investment projects in Vietnam with a combined capital of nearly
1.5 billion USD./.
