Chairwoman Ngan emphasized that the Party and State of Viet Nam always treasure the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership with Chinese peers, regarding this as the top priority in Viet Nam’s foreign policy.

The top legislator called on the two sides to strengthen coordination to prepare for high-level delegation visits from now to the year’s end, including the State-level visit to Vietnam by General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping, who is due to attend the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week in the central city of Da Nang in November 2017.

She invited NPC leaders to participate in the 26th Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum in Ha Noi from January 18-21, 2018.

The Chairwoman suggested the two countries’ ministries, departments and localities implement common perceptions reached by top leaders of the two countries, expand win-win collaboration in line with their development strategies, and bring bilateral cooperation to a new height in a more balanced and effective way.

In return, the Chinese Vice Chairperson assessed that the bilateral ties have been flourishing, calling on the two countries to promote solidarity, friendly relations, look forward mutual benefits; and properly handling disagreements in a bid to reach general development. 

He said China stands ready to cooperate with Viet Nam to cement and deepen the bilateral comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, adding that the two sides need to effectively implement collaborative programs and projects while seeking cooperation opportunities within the China’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative and building a corridor of economic connectivity. 

China, said the Vice Chairperson, is ready to cooperate with Viet Nam to implement all cooperation agreements and increase experience sharing between the two countries’ parliaments, which will contribute to enhancing mutual understanding between their peoples and lay an important foundation for the building of a healthy relationship./.
