The Vietnamese and Chinese leaders pledged to promote the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership their countries in line with the six major orientations, maintain regular high-level exchanges, and strongly boost economic, trade, and investment cooperation.
The trip to China by the delegation of the Supreme People's Court of Vietnam aims to contribute to realising the common perceptions between the top leaders of the two Parties and countries, withjudicial cooperation identified as an important pillar of the bilateral ties.
Judicial cooperation between the two countries—led by their Supreme People's Courts—has been continuously fostered and expanded in various aspects. Building on the cooperation agreement signed in 2018, cooperative activities have increasingly deepened from central to local levels.
Ngoc said that fostering sustainable and long-term ties, enhancing political trust and deepening substantive cooperation with China remain a consistent policy, an objective requirement, a strategic choice, and a top priority in Vietnam’s foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralisation and diversification of relations.
Top priority should be given to railway cooperation, PM Pham Minh Chinh said, expressing the determination to commence construction of the Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong railway line this year, and seeking China’s support through preferential credit, technology transfer, and human resources development.
A senior Party official reaffirmed Vietnam’s consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, friendship, cooperation, development, multilateralism, and diversification of international relations. A particular emphasis has been paid on the longstanding ties between the Vietnamese and Chinese parties and states.
Vietnam encourages reputable Chinese corporations to invest in railway infrastructure, starting with the Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong line, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said, suggesting PowerChina work closely with Vietnam to develop railway industry, transfer technology and know-how, train quality workforce, and offer operational expertise.
Vietnam welcomes Chinese enterprises, including the CCECC, to actively collaborate with Vietnamese firms to improve competitiveness in terms of technology, quality, and cost-efficiency as they engage in the investment and construction of high-speed rail lines in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese Government welcomes foreign and Chinese enterprises to expand investment and business activities in the country, particularly in areas aligned with sustainable development needs, suited to China's strengths, and beneficial to both sides, including the energy sector.

Vietnam regards the development of relations with China as a consistent guideline, a natural and strategic choice, and a top priority in its foreign policy. It supports a strong and growing China that plays an active role in promoting peace, stability, and prosperity in the region and the world.

Accordingly, from one of the least developed countries, Vietnam has become a country with a strong economy and improved people’s living conditions.
