Vice President Zeng Qinghong held talks on Wednesday with Truong
Tan Sang, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of
Vietnam (CPV), vowing to further the relationship and all-round
cooperation.
"China and Vietnam should view the relations from the strategic
and long-term perspective," Zeng said.
He added that the sound relations, fostered by the leadership of
the old generation of the two countries, should be treasured.
China and Vietnam have followed the principles of long-term
stability, facing the future, good-neighborliness and all-round
cooperation in the recent years and made progress in the
development of the bilateral ties, Zeng said.
In the first half of this year, the trade volumes between the
two countries hit US$6.67 billion, up 45.9 percent year on
year.
"Chinese government and Party value relations with Vietnam and
will work with the Vietnamese counterpart to push forward the
good-neighborly and cooperative relationship," Zeng said.
Truong Tan Sang said Vietnam and China have enjoyed common
interest, and furthering the friendship with China has long been
Vietnam's guideline and conformed to the aspiration of the two
peoples.
He said Vietnam will cement the cooperation with China in all
fields.
