Before the official visit to China by NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue and the high-ranking delegation of Vietnam, at the invitation of the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) of China Zhao Leji, Nhan Dan Newspaper’s reporter interviewed scholar Gu Yuanyang, a Professor from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, who is also a friendship scholar, with deep knowledge and contributions to the Vietnam – China relationship.
At nearly 90 years old, the professor has regularly updated information about Vietnam as well as the progress of the relationship between the two countries.
He said maintaining the frequent exchanges and close contacts between the leaders of the two parties and the two countries and the two peoples has become a good tradition of China-Vietnam friendship, which was created and cultivated by Presidents Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong. He also expressed his pleasure at the positive trends and stable development of the bilateral relations over the past years, especially the new positioning of Vietnam-China relations, established during the visit to Vietnam by Chinese Party leader and President Xi Jinping last year.
Thanks to this new positioning, the bilateral cooperation on all channels has been vibrant since the beginning of 2024, showing the great potential and solid foundation for the relations between the two countries.

The Chinese scholar assessed that thanks to this new positioning, the bilateral cooperation on all channels has been vibrant since the beginning of 2024, showing the great potential and solid foundation for the relations between the two countries.
Stressing the similarities in the political institutions between Vietnam and China, Professor Gu Yuanyang said the NA of Vietnam and the NPC of China both play very important roles in the political system of each country, with the functions of legislation, supreme supervision, and decisions on important issues of the countries. Major decisions on socio-economic development, national planning and people's livelihood are passed by the Vietnamese NA/Chinese NPC, significantly contributing to ensuring the sustainable development of the economy, building and perfecting the socialist rule-of-law state, promoting people's democracy, representing the will and aspirations of the people, and demonstrating the superiority of the socialist regime.
The Chinese scholar also noted that the recent experiences and operating models of the Vietnamese NA, especially through the supreme supervision, the question & answer sessions, and the decisions on the socio-economic development criteria, have attracted widespread attention and high appreciation from Chinese scholars, experts and people.
This official visit to China by NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue will be an important event in the relationship between the two countries, contributing to firmly consolidating the new positioning of Vietnam – China relations.

The visit will provide an opportunity for the Vietnamese NA and Chinese NPC, as well as the relevant committees and agencies from the two countries, to exchange experiences in implementing legislative and supervisory functions and decision-making on important issues of the nation; sign cooperation documents towards creating a favourable legal corridor for the exchange and cooperation between the two sides’ agencies and localities in all fields, thereby contributing to firmly consolidating the new positioning of Vietnam – China relations.
