According to the People’s Daily, while hosting National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, Chinese General Secretary and President Xi Jinping stressed that a distinctive feature of China-Vietnam relations is that the two sides are a like-minded pair with a shared future, and “comrades-plus-brothers” is the most vivid portrayal of the traditional friendship between the two Parties and two countries.

He urged joint efforts to promote more achievements in building a China-Vietnam community with a shared future, better serve their respective modernisation, further benefit the two peoples and make greater contributions to the global socialist cause.

According to Xinhua, at the talks with Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee Zhao Leji stressed that the two sides should implement the cooperation agreements effectively, strengthen friendly exchanges at all levels of the legislatures, learn from each other’s experience in legislation, supervision and governance, promptly ratify legal documents to promote mutually beneficial cooperation and make further contributions to the cause of socialist building in each country and the China-Vietnam community with a shared future.

He added that the two legislative bodies need to strengthen cooperation in multilateral parliamentary organisations to safeguard the common interests of the two countries and global fairness and justice.

Chinese media also highlighted that Chinese business representatives expect Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue’s visit to be an opportunity for Chinese companies to engage more deeply in Vietnam’s infrastructure development, thereby making greater contributions to socio-economic development in Vietnam.
