This includes the agreement on basic principles guiding the settlement of issues at sea, thus working together to maintain peace and stability at sea, as well as managing differences and avoiding actions that would complicate the situation.
For his part, Hu congratulated Vietnam on its successful hosting the WEF ASEAN, as well as the achievements that Vietnam has gained under the leadership of the CPV.
He affirmed that the Party, State, and people of China attach much importance to the relations with Vietnam and are willing to work with the Vietnamese side to further bolster the bilateral comprehensive cooperative strategic partnership between the two countries and realise the common perceptions of both sides.
China is ready to enhance its economic partnership with Vietnam, while importing more goods from Vietnam, he said.
Hu proposed that in the future, the two countries should continue strengthening high-level exchanges and meetings, as well as people-to-people contacts – especially among the youth, thus reinforcing political trust; promoting strategic connections; and fostering cooperation between ministries, sectors, and localities for the stable and healthy development of the partnership between the two parties and countries.
