Foreign Minister suggests Guangxi facilitate imports of Viet Nam’s farm produce

The Vietnamese FM raised the point while meeting Secretary of the Party Committee of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China Liu Ning in Chongzuo city on April 3, as part of his official visit to China.

The Party and State of Viet Nam always advocate and create favorable conditions for cooperation between Vietnamese localities and their Chinese counterparts, including Guangxi, he reiterated.

Both sides should focus on implementing high-level common perceptions and major outcomes reached during the visit to China by Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in October 2022, and the visit to Viet Nam by Party General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping in December 2023, the Vietnamese Foreign Minister said.

He suggested Vietnamese ministries, agencies and localities, and Guangxi maintain and raise the efficiency of their existing cooperation mechanisms, promote friendship, and share experience in Party building, social management and economic development.

Bui underlined the need to speed up the construction of border gate infrastructure, improve cargo transportation capacity, and enhance railway and road connectivity.

The two sides should work to increase mutual understanding and friendship between the two countries' people, especially among youth, and step up close coordination in land border management in line with three legal documents on the land border and relevant agreements, Bui said.

Liu, for his part, asserted that Guangxi province places importance on friendship exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation with Vietnamese ministries, agencies and localities.

The two sides should maximize their potential, strengths and reciprocity in cooperation, strengthen transportation infrastructure connections, facilitate customs clearance, promote the construction of smart border gates, and speed up tourism cooperation and people-to-people links, he added./.
