According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on July 22, Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, met with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Le Hieu in Manila.
Wang Yi stated that in April this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping and President Xi Jinping held an important meeting with General Secretary Surin and President Surin, making top-level designs to promote the implementation of the "six more" overall goals and to accelerate the establishment of a higher-level strategic community of shared future between China and Vietnam. At present, the turbulent aspects of the world's century-long changes are becoming more prominent, posing severe challenges to regional countries. As socialist countries and two developing nations, China and Vietnam must earnestly implement the high-level consensus between the two parties and two countries. Starting from the overall situation of their long-term development, they should strengthen unity and cooperation. Both sides should continue to maintain close high-level exchanges, fully leverage the "3+3" strategic dialogue mechanism in diplomacy, defense, and public security between China and Vietnam, and promote practical cooperation in areas such as connectivity and artificial intelligence. By doing so, relations between China and Vietnam will always be at the forefront of regional countries, jointly maintaining a good situation for peaceful development in the region.
Li Huaizhong said that the Vietnamese Party and government cherish their friendship with China and attach great importance to relations with China. The Vietnamese side is willing to work together with China to implement the achievements of General Secretary Su Lin's visit to China and the important consensus reached by the leaders of both parties and countries. They will strengthen exchanges at all levels, promote practical cooperation in fields such as railways and agriculture, and jointly contribute to achieving more results in the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and China. The Vietnamese side supports the four major global initiatives proposed by China, and congratulates the World Artificial Intelligence Conference for its successful holding in Shanghai, as well as the establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization. The Vietnamese side will fully support China in hosting this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum, and is willing to strengthen multilateral communication and cooperation with China to safeguard the common interests of both countries and the region.
