(Central News Agency reporter Liao Wen-chi, Taipei, 15th) Chinese Communist Party General Secretary and Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks with Vietnamese Communist Party General Secretary and Vietnamese President To Lam at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing this morning, and signed multiple bilateral cooperation documents covering party-to-party, public security, judicial, economic, production and supply chains, and customs cooperation.
To Lam is on a state visit to China from April 14 to 17. Vietnam's new National Assembly voted on April 7 to approve To Lam, the General Secretary of the Vietnamese Communist Party, to also serve as President.
According to Xinhua News Agency, Xi Jinping once again congratulated To Lam on his election as Vietnamese President, and noted that To Lam's visit to China immediately after his election as Vietnamese President "reflects the high importance attached to the development of China-Vietnam relations." Regardless of how the international situation changes, China always regards Vietnam as a priority in its neighborhood diplomacy, promotes high-quality comprehensive strategic cooperation, and accelerates the building of a higher-level, strategically significant "China-Vietnam community with a shared future."
Xi Jinping emphasized that "the leadership of the Party" is the "most essential feature and greatest advantage" of socialism. Safeguarding the socialist system and the ruling position of the Communist Party is the greatest common strategic interest of the two parties. Both sides should maintain a high degree of strategic sobriety and strong strategic resolve, "always firmly believe in the path and system, and adhere to 'reform without changing direction, transformation without changing color'."
Xi Jinping stated that both sides should give full play to the special role of party-to-party channels. Maintaining political security should be prioritized, making good use of the "3+3" strategic dialogue mechanism for diplomacy, defense, and public security, and continuously strengthening ideological and belief education for the younger generation of both countries.
Both sides should also accelerate the alignment of development strategies, prioritizing the promotion of infrastructure connectivity. Cooperation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and the Internet of Things should be strengthened. Friendly exchanges and cooperation in tourism, culture, media, education, health, and sports should continue to be enhanced. Both sides also announced the launch of the 2026-2027 "China-Vietnam Tourism Cooperation Year."
Xi Jinping pointed out that both sides should jointly oppose unilateralism and protectionism, and safeguard the global free trade system and the stable and smooth operation of industrial and supply chains. This year marks the 5th anniversary of the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and ASEAN. China is willing to strengthen coordination and cooperation with regional countries to promote the building of a closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future.
According to Xinhua News Agency, To Lam stated that he is willing to promote the continuous development of the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and the strategically significant community with a shared future between the two countries. Currently, Vietnam-China relations maintain a positive development trend, with close strategic communication, and the defense and security fields have moved from dialogue to practical cooperation. Economic and trade investment and infrastructure cooperation are deeply underway, people-to-people exchanges are very frequent, and multilateral communication is closer.
To Lam pointed out that Vietnam continues to support the "One China" policy, is willing to strengthen strategic communication and high-level strategic coordination with China, and supports the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Civilization Initiative, and Global Governance Initiative proposed by Xi Jinping, and is willing to work with China to promote the building of a "community with a shared future for mankind."
After the talks, both sides jointly witnessed the signing of multiple bilateral cooperation documents in areas such as party-to-party, public security, judicial, economic, production and supply chain cooperation, customs cooperation, science and technology, people's livelihood, human resource development, media, and local affairs.
