China is ready to work with Viet Nam to strengthen the synergy of development strategies, give full play to the mechanism of the China-Viet Nam Steering Committee for Bilateral Cooperation, implement the synergy between the Belt and Road Initiative and the "Two Corridors, One Economic Circle" initiative, deepen cooperation in areas such as connectivity, trade, investment, tourism, healthcare, and disaster prevention and mitigation, as well as expand cooperation in local currency settlement and emerging industries including the digital economy and green development, so as to constantly upgrade bilateral cooperation in various fields. The two sides should take the opportunity of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and the China-Viet Nam Year of People-to-People Exchanges, both taking place next year, to further deepen people-to-people and cultural exchanges, enhance mutual understanding and amity between the two peoples, especially the younger generations, and carry forward the cause of China-Viet Nam friendship.

China is ready to work with Viet Nam to strengthen coordination and cooperation at multilateral platforms such as the United Nations and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, promote more just and equitable global governance, safeguard the interests of developing countries, and guide the joint efforts of the international community to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

Pham Minh Chinh said, Viet Nam and China enjoy a close relationship of comrades and brothers, and their traditional friendship has grown ever stronger as time goes by. Noting that China is the only country that encompasses all of Viet Nam's foreign policy priorities, he said that developing relations with China is a top priority and a strategic choice for the CPV and the Vietnamese government. Viet Nam abides by the one-China principle, supports China's development and growth, as well as the series of global initiatives put forward by President Xi Jinping. He thanked China for its long-term support and assistance to Viet Nam. Next year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Guided by the important common understandings reached between the top leaders of the two Parties and countries, Viet Nam is ready to work with China to enhance high-level exchanges, strengthen the synergy of development strategies, advance cooperation in such areas as finance, investment, agriculture, science and technology, accelerate connectivity in transportation infrastructure, explore new modes like cross-border economic cooperation zones, expand cooperation in digital economy, green development and other emerging sectors, and intensify exchanges in education, tourism, and youth exchanges. Viet Nam is willing to strengthen multilateral coordination with China to safeguard the common interests of developing countries. Pham Minh Chinh called on both sides to deliver on the common understandings reached between the high-level leaders of the two Parties and countries, properly manage differences through friendly consultation, and jointly safeguard maritime peace and stability.
