Chinese Consul General Liu Hongmei emphasized: “China always prioritizes its relationship with Vietnam in its neighboring diplomacy, while Vietnam also places the highest importance on its relationship with China in its foreign policy.

We need to persist in the strategic guidance of high-level leaders, fully utilize cooperation mechanisms in all fields, and continuously strengthen political trust, so that the spirit of ‘close neighbors, dear friends, comrades with shared goals, partners in development’ is passed down from generation to generation.”
