He suggested strengthening links between Guangxi and Vietnamese border localities in this work in the coming time.
Deputy Minister Trung also stressed the need to promote cross-border economic connections, education cooperation and cultural exchanges among border localities of the two countries, towards building a peaceful and stable borderline between the nations.
He took the occasion to thank Guangxi province’s leaders and people for their recent efforts to foster multifaceted cooperation with Vietnamese border localities.
For his part, Peng Qinghua stated that Guangxi will work with the most responsible spirit to strictly implement the high-ranking agreements reached between the two countries, contributing to stepping up the China-Vietnam friendship and comprehensive cooperation.
He said economic relations between Guangxi and Vietnam have recorded increasingly strong development in recent times, with the trade value between the region and Vietnam accounting for one-third of the total two-way trade between Vietnam and China. People-to-people exchanges between the two sides have also been enhanced.
On the occasion, Peng Qinghua asked the Vietnamese side to support the building of an annual meeting mechanism between Guangxi’s key leaders and those from Vietnam’s border localities, and back the Chinese locality in holding a China-ASEAN Fair in 2016.
