VietNamNet Bridge – Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has held talks and met with Chinese government and state leaders to discuss measures to deepen and make bilateral cooperation more efficient.

During their talks on Oct. 22 right after the red-carpet welcome ceremony for PM Dung, the Vietnamese Prime Minister and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao shared their satisfaction at sound developments in all fields of bilateral relations and discussed measures to promote the two countries’ cooperative partnership.

Premier Wen Jiabao warmly welcomed Prime Minister Dung, describing his official visit to China as an important event contributing to furthering the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership under the motto of “friendly neighbourliness, comprehensive cooperation, long-lasting stability and looking towards the future” and in the spirit of “good neighbours, good friends, good comrades and good partners”.

Highly valuing the measures the Vietnamese government has taken to stabilise the macro-economy and rein in inflation, the Chinese Premier expressed his hope that the Vietnamese people will succeed in building socialism for a rich people, a strong country and a just, democratic and civilised society.

PM Dung wholeheartedly congratulated the Chinese people on their immense achievements recorded under the leadership of the Communist Party of China during 30 years of implementing the open-door policy, building the China-characterised socialism and heightening their country’s role and position in the international arena.

“ Vietnam persists in its foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralisation and diversification, attaching paramount importance to the friendly neighbourliness and comprehensive cooperation with China ,” PM Dung stressed.

He also affirmed that Vietnam will work hard to deepen and make the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership more effective under the agreed motto.

The two leaders said they were pleased with the fact that the two countries have reached a common awareness on concretising their comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.

In this regard, they agreed on a number of important measures, including maintaining visits and meetings of high-ranking leaders, putting a telephone hotline into use as soon as possible, fully promoting the role of the steering committee for Vietnam-China bilateral cooperation and existing cooperative mechanisms between key branches, notably the diplomatic service, defence, police and security forces.

They noted on the need to further education on people, particularly young people, on the two countries’ traditional friendship, and boost friendly exchanges between branches, localities and mass organisations in a bid to preserve the Vietnam-China friendship through generations.

Accordingly, PM Dung proposed that the two countries should coordinate in organising China’s 60th National Day, the 60th anniversary of Vietnam-China diplomatic ties, and Vietnam’s 65th National Day and soon kick-start the construction of a Vietnam-China Friendship Palace.

The two sides agreed to authorise relevant agencies to work out measures to make the two countries’ trade ties grow in a healthy manner.

The two leaders said the signing of many agreements between government ministries and sectors and economic deals inked by businesses during the visit marked a new progress in trade and economic ties between the two countries.

They assigned relevant government ministries and agencies to quickly deploy the “two corridors and one economic belt” cooperation scheme, with priority given to building economic zones, promoting trans-national tourism and sharing economic development experiences.

Though delighted with the nearly completion of demarcation along the two countries’ land border line, the leaders asked governmental-level negotiation teams, concerned branches and localities to quickly complete the remaining work.

They expected that such efforts will soon put the treaty on land border into life, thus laying a foundation for building the Vietnam – China border into the one of peace and long-term stability, contributing to cementing and deepening the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.

The two leaders agreed to push up negotiations for the delineation of waters off the Tokin Gulf and continue exchanging views on cooperation development in the area.

They decided to collaborate in maintaining peace and stability in the East Sea and increase cooperation in exploring and exploiting oil and gas, conducting scientific research, protecting the marine environment, organising joint patrols and rescue drills on sea, combating sea pirates, and in navy.

The two PMs also agreed to cooperate and coordinate closely to make the seventh ASEM successful.

Following the talks, PM Dung and Premier Wen witnessed the signing of eight important documents.
These included two governmental agreements on the establishment of a confidential telephone line serving the two countries’ leaders and on cross-border medical quarantine; a deal on the provision of credit for the Hanoi-Ha Dong light railway project and another on preferential credit; a deal on building the China-Vietnam trade and economic zone in Hai Phong; an agreement on cooperation between friendship associations of Vietnam and China; a deal on the construction and operation of Sao Mai-Ben Dinh port, and a strategic cooperation agreement between PetroVietnam and Chinese CNOC.

At his meeting with Party General Secretary, State President Hu Jintao, PM Dung emphasised that his visit is aimed at implementing agreements reached between the Vietnamese and Chinese Party chiefs and concretising the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two Parties and two countries.

He also said he believed that the success of the visit will contribute to lifting the traditional friendship between the two Parties and two countries to a new height.

General Secretary, President Hu Jintao warmly welcomed PM Dung’s official visit to China , affirming the visit’s importance, which, he said, is a vivid manifestation of the Vietnam-China strategic partnership and concern of the two countries’ high-ranking leaders towards boosting bilateral ties.

General Secretary, President Hu Jintao spoke highly of the results of the talks between PM Dung and Premier Wen Jiabao, adding that he welcomed measures agreed by the cabinet leaders in order to deploy the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic partnership and promote cooperation between the two Parties and two countries in specific sectors towards higher efficiency.

The Vietnamese Party, State and people always attach importance to intensifying relations with China and will do its best to further develop the relations, PM Dung asserted.

The two sides agreed that the completion of the land border demarcation and marker planting in 2008 has great political meaning to the two countries’ ties, thus opening up new opportunities for the development of each country, especially for border areas and deepening the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. It will also create a premise for building a peace, stability, friendship and long-lasting cooperation border lines between the two countries, they said.

Regarding sea issue, the two sides confirmed their strict compliance with the agreements and common awareness reached between the two countries’ high-ranking leaders as well as the Declaration of the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC).

The two sides pledged to maintain the existing negotiation mechanism in order to seek acceptable basic and long-lasting solutions and work together to keep peace, stability and enhance cooperation in some fields.
