Hong Kong (VNA) – Vietnam and China should promo✅te friendship and mutual cooperation to bring practical benefits to their people, Vietnamese Ambassador to China Dang Minh🔯 Khoi said.
Meeting with Special Envoy of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong Song Zhe on April 7 during his working visit to Macau and Hong Kong, the Vietnamese diplomat highlighted the growing relationship between the two countries.

Khoi stressed that Vietnam and Hong Kong reached significant achievements in economic, investment and trade cooperation, and Hong Kong is a crucial channel for Vietnam to attract foreign investment.
According to the ambassador, after the Vietnam-China land border delimitation treaty was signed in 1999, friendship and peace on the land borders shared between the two countries were enhanced, facilitating trade and cultural exchanges.
