"Vietnam pursues an unwavering external policy of peace, independence, multilateralisation and diversification, with strengthening the friendship and cooperation with China being one of the leading priorities," Phuc emphasized.

Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli in turn displayed his belief that the successful visit of Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc will make positive contribution to the relations between the two Parties and countries.

He noted that the presence of the PM and many Vietnamese firms at the 13th CAEXPO siginifies the importance that the Vietnamese Government attaches to the China-Vietnam and ASEAN-China ties.

The Vice Premier reiteated the Chinese Party and Government' recognition of high importance to the relations with Vietnam, and hope the two sides will maintain high-level contact, consolidate political trust, boost substantive cooperation and people-to-people exchange while keeping good control of disputes towards the  stable, healthy and sustainable development of the comprehensive strategic co-operative partnership of the two nations.

Meeting with Secretary of the Party Committee of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Peng Qinghua the same day, PM Phuc praised the role played by China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which shares border with Vietnam, in reinforcing the friendship and developing the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries.

Vietnam will take note of Guangxi’s proposals of increasing transport connectivity and building border economic cooperation areas, the Vietnamese leader promised, hailing Guangxi’s efforts to expand win-win and pragmatic cooperation with Vietnamese localities and others in the country’s central and southern regions.
