NPC Vice Chairwoman Shen Yueyue praised the Vietnamese NA Chairwoman’s speech at the IPU-140.
She shared the view that Vietnam and China should further promote the bilateral comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership in the current global context.
According to Shen Yueyue, Party General Secretary and President Xi Jinping selected Vietnam as the first country to visit after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and the visit has contributed to opening up a new chapter in the two countries’ relations.
She noted the resolve of leaders of both countries to continue implementing the agreements reached by their leaders and legislative bodies, creating a foundation for stronger bilateral cooperation in the future.
The NPC Vice Chairwoman suggested the NPC and the Vietnamese NA diversify their cooperative ties, while continuing to promote the role of parliamentary cooperation in all areas.
On the occasion, NA Chairwoman Ngan received from the Chinese side the symbolic key of the Vietnam-China friendship palace in Hanoi, a present from China to Vietnam.
