The state visit to China by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and State President To Lam is a historic one that inherits the past and opens up a new chapter in the bilateral relations, a Chinese expert has said.
Xu Liping, director of the Centre for Southeast Asian Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, has said that Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s official visit to China and attendance at the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum (WEF) recently have contributed to enhancing mutual political trust, and improving Vietnam’s international position.
