The officials informed each other about the situation of their respective parties and countries and exchanged views on relations between the two parties and countries in the recent past. 

They discussed orientations for continuing to promote the healthy and stable development of bilateral ties in the time ahead. Participants also talked about ways to step up cooperation and exchange between the CPC’s Information and Education Commission and the CPC’s Publicity Department.

Regarding sea-related issues, Thuong asked both sides to realise well the common perceptions reached by the two parties and countries’ leaders, including the Vietnam-China agreement on basic principles guiding the settlement of sea-related issues, and resolve disagreements by peaceful means and in line with international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

He requested China to respect Vietnam’s rights and legitimate interests at sea in conformity with international law so as not to negatively affect the development of the countries’ relations.
