The PM took the occasions to affirm Việt Nam’s commitment to strengthening international cooperation and developing the relations with foreign countries and international organisations in a deeper and more substantive fashion.

The foreign leaders, for their parts, spoke highly of the socio-economic achievements that Việt Nam has made over the recent past as well as the country’s role and position in the international arena. They pledged to continue working to bolster the multi-faceted collaboration with Việt Nam and expressed a hope to visit the country soon.

Meeting with General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and Chinese President Xi Jinping, PM Chính affirmed that Việt Nam sees developing the cooperation ties and friendship with China as a strategic choice and a top priority in its foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification and multilateralisation of external relations. He expressed his hope that the two sides will continue to coordinate closely to implement high-level perceptions, joint statements, and documents signed during high-level visits over the past time.

Xi recalled his meeting with Vietnamese President Lương Cường at the 2024 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Week in Lima, Peru during November 12-16, saying it is necessary for the two countries to maintain regular high-level contacts, demonstrating their close and trustworthy relationship.

He lauded the robust collaboration between the two Governments over the past time, saying he wants more practical measures to enhance the implementation of mutual agreements and perceptions. He also called for substantive cooperation, particularly in the construction of three railway lines connecting the two nations.

The Chinese leader expressed his hope that the two sides will continue to support each other and coordinate at multilateral forums and invited Việt Nam’s key leaders to visit China at an appropriate time.
