Xi Jinping’s Vietnam visit grabs Chinese headlines
VOV.VN - Major media outlets across China have given extensive coverage of the ongoing state visit to Vietnam by Chinese Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping on April 14-15.

People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, dedicated its entire front page and other pages to covering Xi’s activities in Vietnam, the high-ranking Chinese delegation’s visit, and friendly exchanges and relations between the two countries.
Xinhua News Agency published reports on the meeting between the two countries’ Party General Secretaries, quoting Xi as affirming that China will always support Vietnam in following the socialist path suited to its national conditions, successfully organising the 14th National Party Congress in 2026, and continuously advancing toward the two centenary goals on the occasion of the Party’s and the country’s founding anniversaries.
Vietnam aims to become a modern industrialised country with upper-middle-income status by 2030 when it celebrates 100 years of its Communist Party, and to become a high-income developed country by 2045 when it celebrates 100 years of the founding of the socialist state.
During the talks, Xi expressed hope that the two sides would continue to promote the traditional friendship characterised by the slogan “Deep Vietnam-China bond - comrades and brothers,” while advancing high-quality comprehensive strategic cooperation, and ensuring that the construction of a China-Vietnam community with a shared future progresses steadily and ambitiously under the common vision of the ‘six common goals’.
He emphasised that building a China-Vietnam community with a shared future carries global significance, and to strengthen it, he proposed major measures, including enhancing strategic political trust at a higher level, expanding high-quality mutually beneficial cooperation, eeepening public engagement and mutual understanding, and promoting closer multilateral cooperation, among others.
Xinhua News Agency further reported that following the talks, the two Party General Secretaries witnessed the signing of 45 bilateral cooperation documents, covering areas such as infrastructure connectivity, artificial intelligence, customs and quarantine, agricultural trade, culture and sports, public welfare, human resources development, and media and communications.
Chinanews published an article about Xi’s Southeast Asia tour of Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia, highlighting that in recent years, visiting neighbours and fellow comrades has become a vivid portrait of the relationship between the two Parties and the two countries.
In addition to extensive coverage of the visit and bilateral relations, China’s major state-run media, including Chinanews, China Central Television (CCTV), and China Daily, also released digital documentaries and video clips on various platforms, featuring Vietnamese daily life, cuisine in Hanoi, and iconic landscapes throughout the country, helping the Chinese public better understand Vietnam.
