The Party leader congratulated China on its achievements in recent years, expressing his belief that under the leadership of the CPC with General Secretary and President Xi Jinping as its core, China will successfully realise the goals set by the 20th National Congress of the CPC.
Viet Nam always supports China’s development and its increasingly important role towards peace, cooperation and development in the region and the world, he said.
The General Secretary highly valued the positive development steps in the relationship between the two Parties and the two countries, especially the outstanding achievements since the two countries established the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership 15 years ago.

For his part, Wang agreed with the important and strategic orientations of the Vietnamese Party leader on further promoting and deepening the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two Parties and the two countries.
He congratulated Viet Nam on great and historical achievements in the past nearly 40 years of its Doi moi (Renewal) process, expressing his belief that under the leadership of the CPV Central Committee led by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, Viet Nam will successfully implement the development goals by 2030 and 2045 set by the 13th National Party Congress.
The Chinese official informed the host about the common perceptions and important results that the two sides achieved at the 15th Meeting of the Viet Nam - China Steering Committee for Bilateral Cooperation, stressing that the two sides will continue to promote practical and effective cooperation in fields, strengthen political trust, and constantly enrich the content of the China-Viet Nam friendly neighbourliness and comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership./.
