At the event, participants expressed their hope that people-to-people exchanges will be further promoted to reinforce the social foundation for building a Vietnam - China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.

Highlighting the time-tested bilateral friendship, Chairman Hue, who is paying an official visit to China, said the two countries’ solidarity and “comradeship plus brotherhood” have become a precious common asset of the two Parties, States, and peoples that need to be unceasingly treasured, nurtured, and passed down to future generations.

Vietnam always keeps in mind the wholehearted assistance from the Chinese Party, State, and people for its struggle for national independence in the past and national development at present, he stated, voicing his delight at the growth of bilateral ties in recent years, including many successful diplomatic activities such as the historic visit to China by Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in 2022 and the trip to Vietnam by Party General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping in 2023.

The top legislator underlined that one of the most important cooperation orientations in the countries’ relations is to consolidate a more solid social foundation. He appreciated the sentiment and significant contributions by Vietnamese and Chinese people.

Hue said: "The National Assembly of Vietnam and the National People's Congress of China always strive to grasp and reflect the people's thoughts and feelings, strengthen directions, build social consensus, and create and consolidate a solid foundation for the friendly and cooperative relationship between Vietnam and China. This visit to China and the signing of a new Cooperation Agreement between the two legislatures aim to maintain high-level strategic exchanges, concretize and implement the common perception of the leadership of the two Parties and two countries, and contribute to deepening and elevating the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and building a Vietnam-China shared future with strategic significance to bring practical benefits for the people of the two countries."

He asked the NA of Vietnam, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, and VUFO to join hands with the National People’s Congress of China, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the CPAFFC, and people’s organizations of China to press on with friendship exchanges, especially those between young people, and step up communications about the Vietnam - China friendship along with each country’s reform and door-opening achievements, thereby consolidating the social foundation and promoting people’s consensus for developing the countries’ friendship.
