During his meeting with Premier Wen Jiabao, Mr Trong congratulated China’s great achievements in all fields, helping the country become the world’s second largest economy.

He highlighted the strong and fruitful development in bilateral ties during the past 20 years, saying that the two countries have built a comprehensive, strategic partnership under the "16-word" motto (Friendly neighbourliness, comprehensive co-operation, durable stability and future-oriented vision) and the "four-good" spirit (Good neighbours, good friends, good comrades and good partners).

The Vietnamese Party leader also stressed that the healthy relationship between the two Parties and States plays a vital role in ensuring stability and boosting development in both countries.
