cooperation, overcome all difficulties and challenges, and promote the
bilateral traditional friendship between the two Parties, nations and their
people to obtain greater achievements in the new period for the interests of
their people and for peace, cooperation and development in the region and the

The top Vietnamese leader made the suggestion during his phone talks on
February 8 with Party General Secretary and State President of China Xi
Jinping.
He stressed that over the past 71 years since the establishment of diplomatic
ties, despite ups and downs, friendship and cooperation have remained a main
flow in the relationship between the two Parties and countries, with a wide
range of activities carried out in different forms, thus contributing to the
Vietnam-China Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership.
Trong thanked the Communist Party of China Central Committee for sending its
greetings to the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV)
as well as Xi for his congratulatory message to him.
He emphasized that the 13th National Party Congress was a success and set out
major targets and directions which play the role as a strategic direction and
vision for Vietnam’s cause of renewal and socialism building in the coming
time.
On behalf of the Chinese Party, Government and people, Xi congratulated
the CPV on the success of its 13th National Congress and Trong on his
re-election as General Secretary of the 13th-tenure CPV Central Committee.
He expressed his belief that under the sound leadership of the CPV headed by
Trong, Vietnam will successfully implement the 13th National Party Congress’s
Resolution and gain new and greater achievements.
Xi affirmed that the Chinese Party, Government and people attach great
importance to its traditional friendship and neighbourliness with Vietnam, and
are willing to step up strategic discussions, boost practical collaboration in
all fields with the Vietnamese Party, Government and people, and ceaselessly develop
the China-Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership in a healthy
and stable manner, bringing practical benefits to the two nations' people and
contributing to peace and stability in the region and the world.
On the occasion of the Lunar New Year – the biggest traditional festival of
both Vietnam and China, Trong extended his best wishes to all Chinese Party
members and people, while Xi also offered his greetings to the Vietnamese
people./.
