Vietnam, China push to forge cooperation between localities
Tran Quoc Vuong, Politburo member and permanent member of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee, on August 22 asked China’s Shaanxi province to enhance cooperation with Vietnamese localities and improve the efficiency of collaboration in economy, trade, tourism, and culture.
He made the suggestions at a meeting with Hu Heping, member of the Communist Party of China’s (CPC) Central Committee and Secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the CPC, during which Vuong also briefed the host on Vietnam’s socio-economic development.
Vuong highly valued the achievements recorded by the Chinese province in recent times, noting his belief that under the leadership of the CPC Provincial Committee and local authorities, Shaanxi residents will successfully complete targets and tasks set by the 19th CPC National Congress.
In response, Hu Heping spoke of Shaanxi province’s efforts in Party building, socio-economic development, and poverty reduction, especially its experience in reforms and opening up, as well as the implementation of the resolution adopted at the 19th CPC National Congress.
He informed his guest about the outcomes of cooperation between Shaanxi and Vietnam in general and its localities in particular, and expressed his opinions on orientations to step up the affiliation for the time ahead.
During their stay in Shaanxi, Vuong and his delegation visited new-style rural area building models and socio-economic establishments in Yan’an and Xi’an cities.
