BEIJING – Party General Secretary and President Tô Lâm met with Wang Huning, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, in Beijing on Monday.

He stressed that the Vietnamese Party and State attach special importance to consolidating and developing ties with the Chinese Party and State, considering it a strategic choice and a top priority in its foreign policy.

Việt Nam remains steadfast in its "One China" policy, supports China's growth and the promotion of its important role to global and regional peace, cooperation and development, he said, adding that the Vietnamese Party, State and people always remember and value the significant and wholehearted support from their Chinese counterparts in the past struggle for national independence and reunification, as well as in the current national construction and development.

He suggested improving the effectiveness of cooperation mechanisms among key ministries and sectors such as public security, national defence, and foreign affairs; bolstering the friendly ties between the Việt Nam Fatherland Front and the CPPCC, and encouraging sectors and localities to advance cooperation in the areas of mutual interest, such as increasing the import of Vietnamese agricultural products, developing rail connections, attracting Chinese large-scale and quality investment projects in Việt Nam, and boosting tourism to the pre-COVID-19 levels.

The guest also hoped for increased multilateral coordination in the areas of shared interest and expanded people-to-people exchanges, particularly among the younger generation.

Agreeing with the top Vietnamese leader’s recommendations, Wang said China wishes and is willing to bolster exchanges between the two countries via all channels and at all levels, enhance substantive cooperation in all areas, and promote the coordinating role of the China-Việt Nam Steering Committee for Bilateral Cooperation for their win-win collaboration.

He expressed his respect for the Vietnamese side’s suggestion on increasing the imports of Vietnamese goods, particularly farm produce, as well as expanding cooperation in new areas such as digital economy, green economy and IT, while promoting strategic connections under the “Belt and Road” and “Two corridors, One Belt” initiatives, bring practical benefits to the two countries’ people and enterprises.

He spoke highly of Việt Nam’s review process, and practical and theoretical achievements after nearly 40 years of “Đổi mới” (renewal), as well as its preparation for the 14th National Party Congress. Wang also briefed the Vietnamese leader on the important outcomes of the third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China during the country’s key development period.

The host affirmed to join hands with the Vietnamese side to well implement the common perceptions reached by high-ranking leaders of the two countries, and suggested enhanced theoretical exchanges that contribute to the building of socialism in each nation.

Lâm and Wang exchanged their viewpoints on the sea-related issues in a sincere and frank fashion, and laid stress on the significance to the maintenance of peace and stability in the region.
