Capital, Beijing spur cooperation in various areas

Dung suggested the further exchange of visits, especially those at the highest level, in order to keep strengthening mutual understanding and confidence, as well as to provide direction for the healthy and stable development of the Viet Nam-China relationship.

He suggested continuing to follow common perceptions reached by the two Party leaders and the Viet Nam-China Joint Statement, as well as the leaders' directions in order to enhance bilateral substantive cooperation across various fields and encourage localities to increase friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation.

It is a need to cultivate ties between the two capitals via effectively following the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation between Ha Noi and Beijing signed in 2022 and other MoUs between their units and agencies, he said.

The Ha Noi Party leader took the occasion to call for increased exchanges at all levels and jointly holding activities marking the 30th anniversary of the friendship between the two capitals.

Agreeing with Dung's proposals, Politburo member and Secretary of the Beijing Party Committee Yin Li said his visit holds significance at a time when the two countries are celebrating the 15th anniversary of comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and the 29th anniversary of twinning ties between Beijing and Ha Noi.

Beijing, with its rich cultural heritage and experience in preserving and promoting cultural and historical values and urban development, especially in transportation infrastructure, construction and operation of its urban rail system consisting of 27 lines, is ready to share experience and cooperate with Hanoi in these fields, he said.

Speaking highly of the signing of the MoU on cooperation in six areas between the two capital cities, Li also agreed to cement and deepen cooperation and enhance people-to-people exchange with Ha Noi, thus nurturing a solid people-based friendship foundation.

On this occasion, the two city leaders witnessed the signing of six memoranda of understanding on cooperation in specialized fields, including personnel training, urban planning, health care, heritage preservation, sports, film and youth exchange./.
