Framed as an important high-level external activity following recent historic visits by the top leaders of the two Parties and the two countries, and taking place exactly one year after the State visit to Vietnam by General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping, the working trip by General Secretary and President To Lam will provide an occasion for the top leaders of the two Parties and the two countries to exchange views and reach agreement on major orientations for development, further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership, and build a Vietnam-China Community with a shared future of strategic significance in the new period.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Vu said that the State visit to China by General Secretary and President To Lam and a high-level Vietnamese delegation marks a new starting point in bilateral cooperation between the two countries.

Taking place one year after the State visit to Vietnam by General Secretary and President Xi Jinping, the visit reflects mutual regard, the close and comprehensive alignment of interests between Vietnam and China, as well as common  commitments by the two countries to maintain and consolidate a peaceful and stable environment and create favourable conditions for the development of the two neighbouring countries, Vietnam and China.

This visit will help strengthen strategic cohesion, create a new peak and breakthroughs in substantive cooperation in areas including economy, trade, investment, science and technology, education and training, people-to-people exchanges, tourism, and exchanges between localities, and generate new impetus to consolidate the relationship and its material, social and political foundations for Vietnam–China relations in a new period, the Deputy FM said.
