The ceremony formed part of the Chinese leader’s two-day State visit to Vietnam from November 12.

The Vietnam-China Friendship Palace is located at No.188 Le Quang Dao street, Nam Tu Liem district. It was built with non-refundable aid from the Chinese Government and Vietnam’s corresponding capital.

The 14,000-square-meter palace lies on a 3.3-hectare land area with lotus-inspired architecture. It will serve as a venue for cultural, art and people-to-people exchange activities between the two countries, as well as conferences and meetings.

On the occasion, the Vietnamese and Chinese leaders also inaugurated a Chinese Cultural Center in Hanoi.

Following the ceremony, Xi and Ngan met with delegates of the Vietnam-China People’s Forum and some intellectuals having outstanding contributions to the growth of ties between the two countries.
