Vietnam values ties with China in its external policy

The statement was made by Politburo member, Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee and Chairman of its Inspection Commission Tran Cam Tu at a meeting with Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) of China Zhao Leji in Beijing as part of the former’s visit to the neighbouring country.

Tu conveyed regards from National Assembly (NA) Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue to Zhao, and congratulated the Chinese Party, State and people on their achievements over the past time.

He also briefed the Chinese official on Vietnam's socio-economic development, Party building and fight against corruption and other negative phenomena.

Informing Zhao about outcomes of his talks with Li Xi, Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee’s Commission for Discipline Inspection, Tu underscored the importance of maintaining high-level exchanges and contacts, as well as cooperation via all channels.  

Zhao, for his part, also noted that the Party and Government of China regards Vietnam as a priority in the country’s neighbourhood diplomacy, and his belief that Tu’s visit will contribute to further concertizing common perceptions reached by the two Party chiefs.

The NPC stands ready to beef up cooperation with Vietnam to promote high-level exchanges as well as those between specialized committees, friendship parliamentarians’ groups, and people’s councils of localities, share experience in law-making, and coordinate with Vietnam in regional and international forums, he affirmed.

The official hailed achievements Vietnam has recorded, particularly in Party building and corruption combat, and expressed his belief that the collaboration of the two Parties’ inspection agencies will contribute to raising the leadership of each Party, as well as the relations between the two Parties and countries in the new situation.
