As the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) marks its 80th anniversary on September 15, 2025, Vietnamese Ambassador to China Pham Thanh Binh has highlighted its role in the country’s revolutionary press system and in external communication efforts.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s attendance at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit 2025 as a guest of the host country and his working trip to China from August 31 to September 1 carry important significance, conveying Vietnam’s strong message of cooperation.
Both sides highly valued the positive development of the relations between the two Parties and the two countries in recent times.
Vietnamese Ambassador to China Pham Thanh Binh on July 25 presented his credentials to Chinese Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping during a ceremony attended by 16 newly appointed ambassadors from various countries.
Following Party General Secretary To Lam’s directions at the ceremony, the Vietnamese Embassy in China and other Vietnamese representative agencies abroad would work closely with local authorities, agencies, and mass organisations. The goal is to build a streamlined, modern administrative system that better serves both domestic and overseas Vietnamese (OV) communities.
Initiatives like “China Walk” joint media tour serve as a crucial catalyst for nurturing people-to-people connections between Vietnam and China.
This is Xi's first overseas visit in 2025, his fourth visit to Vietnam as China's top leader, and the second within his current term. It demonstrates the high regard that the Chinese Party and State, as well as the leader personally, place on strengthening the friendly neighbourliness and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and China.
Ambassador Pham Thanh Binh stressed that the Vietnamese Party and State highly value the consolidation and strengthening of friendship and cooperation with the Chinese Party, State and people, considering it a top priority and a strategic choice in Vietnam’s foreign policy.
