BEIJING (VNS) — The Party, State and people of Viet
Nam have always attached great importance to pursuing the consolidation of Viet
Nam and China's comprehensive strategic partnership, together with the Party,
State and people of China, and ensuring the partnership's sound and
long-lasting stable development.
Politburo member Le Hong Anh, Special Envoy of the
Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, reiterated this in his talks with the
General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, State President Xi Jingping,
in Beijing yesterday.
In the context of complex international and regional
developments, the two sides needed to strengthen cooperation, rationally solve
disputes and work together to create a peaceful and stable environment to
develop both countries and improve the living conditions of the people of Viet
Nam and China, the Special Envoy said.
Hong Anh also suggested leaders of the two parties and
states tighten their instructions in order to promptly restore, stabilise and
develop bilateral relations. He said leaders of the two countries need to
instruct their ministries and branches to seriously implement the agreement on
the basic principles guiding settlements of sea related issues between Viet Nam
and China; to effectively control and reasonably solve all East Sea disputes;
to maintain peace; to stabilise the East Sea region; and to meet the
expectations and basic and long-term interests of the two countries' peoples.
This would contribute to peace, stability and prosperity in the region, he
said.
Also on this occasion, Hong Anh conveyed the
invitations of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Viet Nam Nguyen
Phu Trong and State President Truong Tan Sang to Chinese leader Xi Jingping to
visit Viet Nam.
Chinese General Secretary and President Xi Jingping
affirmed that the Party, State and people of China had always held fostering
ties with Viet Nam in high esteem, upholding the principle of friendship and
cooperation with Viet Nam, and together with the Vietnamese Party, State and
people, developing a comprehensive strategic Viet Nam-China partnership. The
Chinese leader also agreed that the two parties and states would give
directions to bring bilateral relations back to health, and restore and develop
the bilateral ties between the two parties and states, which the two sides
agreed upon during the visit.
Chinese General Secretary and President Xi Jingping
thanked General Secretary Trong and State President Sang for their invitations
and said that he would visit Viet Nam at an appropriate time.
Earlier that day, Politburo member Hong Anh held talks
with Communist Party of China Politburo Standing member, Secretary of CCP
Central Committee Liu Yunshan. The two openly discussed issues relating to the
bilateral relationship between the two parties and states.
Hong Anh affirmed the lasting viewpoint of the Party,
State and people of Viet Nam placing great importance on developing friendship,
cooperation, and equal and mutual benefits with the Party, State and people of
China. The Special Envoy also said the leaders of the two countries needed to
strengthen their roles in nursing their bilateral relations back to health,
inspired by friendly neighbourliness, comprehensive cooperation, long-term
stabilisation, a future-oriented outlook, and meeting the fundamental and long
term interests of the two countries and the region.

Regarding the East Sea issue, Hong Anh noted that due
to the recent difficult circumstances and tense relations between the two
countries, leaders of the two countries needed to directly instruct relevant
ministries and agencies in both countries to uphold negotiations in order to
seek basic, long-term solutions that are acceptable to both sides, whilst
actively studying "transition" solutions and enhancing expert group
meetings on the Gulf of Tonkin.
He particularly stressed that the two countries needed
to work to control sea-related issues; avoid conflicts that might affect the
two countries' relations; work together to keep peace and stability in the East
Sea and ensure the development of the relationship between the two Parties and
both countries.
For his part, Liu Yunshan affirmed that China valued
Hong Anh's visit highly and said he wished that the high level-meeting of the
two parties play an important role in solving the remaining differences between
the two countries; promoting exchange visits and cooperation between the two
parties and states; and developing friendship between the two countries in this
new period.
At the end of the talks, the two sides agreed upon
three important points.
Firstly, the leaders of Viet Nam and China would
tighten their direct instructions regarding bilateral ties between parties and
states, boosting sound and stable relations between the two countries.
Secondly, the two sides would promote exchange visits
between the two parties and states, and would restore and enhance bilateral
relations in all fields, such as politics, diplomacy, defence, security, trade
and the implementation of laws.
Thirdly, the two sides would abide by the important
common perception of the leaders of the two parties and states to seriously
implement the agreement on the basic principles guiding the settlement of sea
related issues between Viet Nam and China; to effectively implement
government-level negotiations on Viet Nam-China borders and territory; to seek
basic and long-term solutions acceptable to both sides; to effectively control
sea disputes and not act to complicate or expand disputes; to maintain peace
and stability in the East Sea; and to maintain overall Viet Nam-China
relations. — VNS
