During the talks, General Le Van Dung, general director of the General Political Department of the Vietnam People’s Army, expressed his belief that the Chinese delegation’s official trip to Vietnam would help to strengthen the mutual understanding, traditional friendship and cooperative relationship between the two armies and peoples. 

Both parties briefed each other on the political, socio-economic, defence and security situation in their respective countries and agreed to enhance cooperation between the two armies and peoples.

Later the same day, the Chinese delegation led by Senior Lieutenant General Li Jinai, who is director general of the PLA General Political Department, paid a courtesy call on Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh.
