He asked Zhejiang to facilitate the import of more high-quality agricultural and aquatic products from Viet Nam, making full use of the complementarity of the two sides' import – export structures to boost bilateral trade.

The CPV official also encouraged reputable and capable Zhejiang-based enterprises to increase investment in Viet Nam, particularly in areas they are strong at, including infrastructure development, the digital economy and the green economy.

He called for stronger cooperation and experience sharing with Vietnamese localities in logistics, e-commerce, private-sector development, smart urban management, innovation, and natural disaster prevention and control, adding that it is also necessary to further step up cooperation in tourism, culture and education, particularly high-quality human resources training.

Nghi proposed that Zhejiang continue supporting the Vietnamese Consulate General in Shanghai in fulfilling its duties and create favorable conditions for the Vietnamese community living, studying and working in the province.

For his part, Xu welcomed Nghi and the CPV delegation to Zhejiang and congratulated Viet Nam on its development achievements.

He briefed the guests on the implementation of policies and resolutions adopted by the CPC Central Committee, Zhejiang's socio-economic development, and the province's experience and strengths in reform, innovation and private-sector development.
