Briefing the Chinese leader on key outcomes of the 14th National Party Congress, he underlined that the congress fulfilled a major historical mission by comprehensively reviewing 40 years of Doi Moi (Renewal), and deciding issues of strategic significance to the nation’s future and destiny in the new development era.
He affirmed the determination of the Party, State and people of Vietnam to build a peaceful, independent, democratic, prosperous, civilised and happy country steadily advancing towards socialism. Vietnam firmly upholds national independence and socialism with the guiding principle that “the people are the foundation”, establishing a new growth model, and consistently pursuing a foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, resilience, peace, friendship, cooperation, development, and multilateralisation and diversification of external relations, the Special Envoy stated.
Special Envoy Trung also conveyed the congratulations of the Party and State of Vietnam and General Secretary Lam on China’s major development achievements and on General Secretary and President Xi's strategic decisions that have enabled China to pursue high-quality development, and achieve breakthroughs in science and technology, contributing significantly to economic growth, development, security, civilisation, governance, and stability globally.
Noting the positive momentum in Vietnam–China relations under the strategic guidance of the top leaders of both Parties, Trung affirmed the Vietnamese Party and State's consistent viewpoint of attaching great importance and giving top priority to advancing cooperation with China, standing ready to accompany China in its new development journey, and consolidating the political, material and social foundations of bilateral ties through strengthening high-level strategic exchanges.
The Special Envoy affirmed the determination of the external affairs agencies of both Parties and countries to effectively implement the common perceptions reached by the top leaders, further deepening the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and the Vietnam–China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Highly valuing Trung’s views, General Secretary and President Xi emphasised the China–Vietnam long-standing friendship, saying the relations align with the fundamental interests of both countries. He affirmed that China attaches great importance to and prioritises the development of friendly relations with Vietnam, and expressed readiness to maintain regular strategic exchanges with General Secretary Lam, and adhere to the “16-word” guideline, the spirit of “four goods” and the orientation of “six major orientations”.
The leader noted that China’s adoption of its 15th Five-Year Development Plan in March 2026 will create additional opportunities for cooperation and development with other countries, including Vietnam.
He expressed his hope that both sides will further enhance the quality and effectiveness of cooperation, encourage locality-to-locality cooperation and people-to-people exchanges, and continue advancing the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and the China–Vietnam community with a shared future that carries strategic significance, bringing tangible benefits to the peoples of both countries.
