Party and State leader hosts new Chinese Ambassador

The top Vietnamese leader expressed gratitude for the recent gestures of support from senior Chinese leaders to Vietnam to recover from the severe impacts caused by Typhoon Yagi and subsequent floods. He also conveyed the condolences and sharing from Vietnamese Party and State leaders to the Chinese leaders and people in the affected regions of China that have suffered from the recent historic storms.

Congratulating the Chinese official on being accredited to Vietnam, Lam voiced his hope and belief that the ambassador will enhance his role as a bridge connecting the two countries as a contribution to strengthening the friendship and comprehensive collaboration between the two Parties and countries.

The Party, State, and people of Vietnam consistently place importance on the development of their traditional friendship and comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership with China, considering this a strategic choice and a top priority in Vietnam’s overall foreign policy, Lam told his guest.

The top leader also showed elation at the positive and comprehensive development of the bilateral relationship in recent times, especially with the historic visits by the highest-level leaders of both Parties and countries. These visits have established a new positioning for the bilateral relationship and agreed on building a Vietnam-China community with a shared future, thereby bringing about practical benefits for the two countries' people and maintaining peace, stability, and development in the region and the world.

In reply, He Wei said he hopes to receive the attention and support from Vietnamese leaders as well as the close coordination of Vietnamese ministries, sectors and localities. He affirmed that in his position, he will try his best to reinforce the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, and the Vietnam-China community with a shared future which carries strategic significance.

The Chinese diplomat also underlined his commitment to promoting his role in coordinating and boosting collaboration between Chinese and Vietnamese ministries and localities in implementing common perceptions reached by high-ranking leaders and agreements signed by both sides; intensifying regular high-level exchanges to consolidate political trust, expand substantive cooperation in defence and security, augment socio-economic and cultural collaboration, and strengthen friendly people-to-people exchanges; maintaining close cooperation in multilateral mechanisms and at international forums; and jointly controlling and better settling disagreements based on agreements and high-level common perceptions, for the well-being of both nations’ people and for regional peace and stability.
