Firstly, strengthening political trust and bilateral relations between Vietnam and China. The fact that Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and the Vietnamese delegation accepted the invitation of the State Council of the People's Republic of China to attend this fair demonstrates the high regard and top priority of our Party and State for bilateral relations with China, and is a practical activity to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam-China Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership.

The talks between the two Prime Ministers continued to consolidate the momentum of close high-level exchanges and contacts between the two sides in recent times, contributing to further concretizing high-level common perceptions, especially the official visit to China by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong (October 2022) and the results of the Prime Minister's visits to China and attendance at the WEF Tianjin (June), the visit to China by Standing Member of the Secretariat Truong Thi Mai and other senior leaders of Vietnam, bringing the Vietnam-China Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership to continue to develop stably, healthily, and increasingly in depth and substance.

Second, enhancing practical cooperation between Vietnam and China. During the talks between the two Prime Ministers, the two sides discussed in depth measures to promote cooperation in various fields, focusing on economics, trade, and transport connectivity, in order to fully promote the complementarity of the two economies.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh made a number of specific cooperation proposals in areas that Vietnam prioritizes and has demand for, such as the proposal to accelerate the process of opening the market for Vietnamese agricultural and aquatic products; create conditions for the early establishment of Vietnam Trade Promotion Offices in Chengdu (Sichuan) and Haikou (Hainan), and coordinate to improve customs clearance efficiency and avoid congestion of goods at border gates.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Vu said that Chinese Premier Li Qiang responded positively to the above cooperation proposals. The two Prime Ministers agreed to assign relevant ministries, sectors and localities to increase exchanges and strive to make progress soon.
