Hanoi (VNA) - Premier Li Qiang and a high-ranking delegation of China on October 13 morning laid a wreath in tribute to President Ho Chi Minh at the late leader's mausoleum in Hanoi as part of his three-day official visit to Vietnam.
Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son joined the delegation.
Li laid the wreath in memory of President Ho Chi Minh, a hero of national liberation and a great man of culture of Vietnam.
This is Li’s first official visit to Vietnam in his new position, and also the first by a Chinese Premier over the past 11 years. It demonstrates the importance the Chinese Party and State, as well as the Premier himself attach to the bilateral relations.
The trip takes place in the context that the two nations are gearing towards the 75th anniversary of their diplomatic relations (January 18, 1950-2025) as well as following the state visits by General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and President of China Xi Jinping to Vietnam in December 2023 and General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and State President To Lam to China in August 2024, and a tour of China by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the New Champions and working sessions in the country in June.
The visit is a continuation of the tradition of high-level exchanges between the two Parties and two countries, and is of great signif🧜icance in further strengthening the Comprehensive Strategic Coopera🦩tive Partnership, promoting the building of a Vietnam-China community of a shared future that carries strategic significance in the direction of “six major goals”./.
Vietnam and China are neighboring countries with many similarities in culture, political systems, and development paths. Recently, with the joint efforts of both sides, the relationship between the two parties and the two countries has maintained a very positive momentum of development, achieving significant accomplishments in all areas.
In the context of a rapidly changing world with increasing risks and challenges, China and Vietnam, as companions on the path of building socialism, need to unite and cooperate even more closely to together promote peace and development, said Chinese Premier Li Qiang.
The upcoming official visit to Vietnam by Chinese Premier Li Qiang is expected to create more opportunities for expanding economic, trade, and investment cooperation between the two nations, according to experts.
Ha expressed his hope that cooperation in science and technology, agriculture, and natural resources would emerge as new focal points and engines of growth in Vietnam–China relations.
Giang said he believes that building on the solid foundation nurtured over the past half-century and the strong determination of both nations, the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership will continue to grow in a more robust, comprehensive, and extensive manner, thus bringing more practical benefits to the two nations' people.
Highlighting the transformative potential of the draft law in revitalising Vietnam’s railway industry, Hoang Van Cuong, a deputy of Hanoi, expressed his support for Article 39, which empowers the Prime Minister to issue a list of railway-related goods and services to be assigned or ordered from domestic enterprises for production.
