It was the first visit by a high-ranking Vietnamese leader since the two nations announced the enhancement of their comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, building a community with a shared future that carries strategic significance, he said, adding that it reflected a desire to concretize common perceptions, commitments and agreements reached by the top leaders of the two Parties and countries, contributing positively to the development of the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership for the benefit of the people of both countries and for peace, stability and development in the region and the world.
The visit not only contributed to the cooperative ties between the two legislatures but also the overall relationship between the two parties and countries in various fields, including politics, national defense-security, practical cooperation, especially in economy, trade, investment, transport connectivity, multilateral coordination, people-to-people exchanges, and the control and settlement of differences at sea in accordance with the six major directions agreed upon by the top leaders.
About notable achievements during the visit, Vu highlighted the enhancement in political trust and revitalised cooperation between the two legislatures, with the signing of a new cooperation agreement which establishes an inter-parliamentary cooperation mechanism co-chaired by the Chairman of the Vietnamese N.A. and the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) of China.
