Hanoi (VNA) 🐼– Vietnamese State President Luong Cuong’s attendance at the 80th anniversary of the world people’s victory over fascism and working trip to China from September 2-4 has been a success, Permanent Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Vu told the press.
Vu said the anniversary honoured the victory of epochal significance, showing the international solidarity for peace and justice, crediting it with leading to the end of unjust wars, creating favourable conditions for national liberation movements, including Vietnam’s, and ushering in an era of peace and development in the world.
President Cuong’s presence at the anniversary, alongside a Vietnamese delegation, highlighted the Vietnamese nation's peace-loving spirit and its resolve to fight for peace and justice, as well as the Party and State’s consistent policy of continuing to work closely with the international community and contribute responsibly to peace, stability and cooperation in the region and the world, he said.
During his trip, the President met with Vietnam’s traditional friends and key international partners, proposing cooperation ideas and expressing gratitude for their support as the country has recently celebrated the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2.
The trip deepened the Vietnam - China Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and the shared vision for Vietnam - China Community with a shared future that carries strategic significance, Vu noted, adding that President Cuong held highly successful talks with Party General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping and met with Zhao Leji, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) of China.
The leaders of both nations engaged in candid, friendly, and effective discussions, identifying measures to strengthen political trust, advance practical cooperation, enhance multilateral coordination, manage differences appropriately, and boost people-to-people exchanges, toward stable, healthy, and sustainable bilateral relations.

President Cuong also met with relatives of Chinese and Vietnamese advisors, generals, and intellectuals who had contributed to Vietnam’s struggle for independence. Expressing appreciation for the traditional friendship and mutual support between the two Parties and countries, he encouraged the families of these historical figures to continue passing on this legacy to future generations, thereby reinforcing the enduring Vietnam - China bonds.
Looking ahead, Vu highlighted the pillars of political, material, and social foundations to realise the trip’s outcomes.
Politically, both nations will increase strategic coordination and political trust through regular high-level exchanges across Party, State, Government, National Assembly/People’s Congress, and Fatherland Front/Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference channels. Cooperation will span diplomacy, national defence, and public security, with commitments to manage differences appropriately, safeguard a peaceful, stable environment conducive to a new era of development in each country and the region, and uphold multilateralism amid the complex global and regional situation.
On the material front, the two countries will deepen economic connectivity and create new bright spots across fields of mutual strength and demand like agricultural trade, rail connectivity, large-scale infrastructure, science-technology, innovation, high-tech agriculture, environmental protection, and human resource training. The Chinese leaders affirmed readiness to expand imports of Vietnamese goods and encourage quality investment, aiming to create opportunities for businesses and people to drive mutual benefits.
Socially, both nations hold strong demand for exchanges in travel, tourism, education, and trade. To facilitate this, they will increase direct flights, simplify visa processes, and bolster cultural, educational, and tourism links. Planned activities, such as the Year of Vietnam-China Humanistic Exchange and Red Journey study tours for the youth, will boost people-to-people exchanges.
Ministries, agencies, and localities will actively work to translate high-level consensus into concrete results and practical projects, delivering benefits to both countries and their people and contributing to peace, cooperation, and development in the region and beyond, Vu noted./.
