(VOVWORLD) - Director of the Institute for Vietnam Studies at the Zhengzhou University Professor Yu Xiangdong has said that the state visit to China by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee and State President To Lam is a strategic choice based on the stable development of the bilateral relations.

During a recent interview with Vietnam News Agency in Beijing, Yu said the visit proved that Mr. To Lam and the CPV Central Committee continue to adhere to Ho Chi Minh's thought and inherit the political legacy left by late Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, leading Vietnam to continue following the path of socialism and the cause of reform, opening up and modernization.
The fact that General Secretary and President Lam chose Guangzhou, a place that holds great significance to the early stages of the revolutionary cause of China and Vietnam, as his first stop showed the high regard he attaches to the precious friendship between the Parties and people of China and Vietnam, the scholar said.
Yu noted that Mr. Lam’s visit demonstrated Vietnam's consistent stance and 'bamboo diplomacy' policy. The trip benefits the noble cause of modernization that the CPV is constantly promoting and is in conformity with the fundamental interests of the two countries and their people. It is also useful to maintain and protect peace, stability, development and prosperity of the region and the world, Yu said.
