He confirmed that Vietnam always considers developing the friendship and cooperative ties with China an objective requirement, a strategic choice, and a top priority in its foreign policy. The Party, government, and people of Vietnam always treasure and bear in mind the wholehearted assistance from their Chinese counterparts during the struggles for national independence in the past and the socialism building and national development at present, he said.
The Vietnamese general spoke highly of the positive developments in the two parties and states’ relationships thanks to both sides’ great efforts, especially after visits by their Party General Secretaries and the latest official visit to Vietnam by Chinese Premier Li Qiang. He emphasized the two countries’ agreement on elevating their comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and building a Vietnam-China Community with a shared future that carries strategic significance in the direction of the “six major goals.”
