Hanoi (VNA) – The Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics held a conference in Hanoi on October 25 to discuss the reality and issues related to the Vietnam-China relations.
The event drew leading scholars and researchers on international relations from the academy, the Vietnam Academy of Social Science, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other agencies.
Participants highlighted the relationship between Vietnam and China in various fields as well as factors impacting the ties, together with opportunities, challenges and prospects for bilateral cooperation.
In 1991, amidst the great changes in the world and regional situation, the two countries normalised their relations after it was frozen for more than a decade. The relationship has since then grown strongly and comprehensively, they noted.
China has become an important pillar in Vietnam’s external policies. Leaders of both sides have also made official visit and held meetings on the margin of international events, during which they underscored that the Vietnam-China friendship is a treasure shared by the two Parties, States and people and it needs to be maintained and reinforced.
