Party General Secretary and State President To Lam, his spouse Ngo Phuong Ly, and a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation visited the Vietnamese Embassy in China on April 14, where they met with staff of representative agencies and members of the Vietnamese community in the country.

The first ministerial-level “3+3” strategic dialogue was convened shortly after China’s “Two Sessions” and the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Viet Nam, demonstrating a high level of political trust and increasingly profound strategic collaboration between the two neighbouring countries.

Viet Nam – China relations are maintaining strong and comprehensive momentum and have reached an “unprecedented height” while entering a new phase of development with prospects for broader and deeper cooperation, said Professor Wang Yong, Director of the Centre for International Political Economy at Peking University.

Deputy PM Mai Van Chinh urged the two sides to highly prioritise railway cooperation, effectively utilise the Viet Nam – China Joint Railway Cooperation Committee, and ensure the groundbreaking of the Lao Cai – Ha Noi – Hai Phong railway project in 2025.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin on August 31 and September 1 at the invitation of the Chinese Government reflects the host’s respect for Viet Nam’s growing role and stature in the region and the world.
