Published 2022-12-25

Abstract

China and Vietnam established diplomatic relations on January 18, 1950, based on the leadership of the two parties established by Chairman Ho Chi Minh and Chairman Mao Zedong and the friendly relationship cultivated by the two countries. On October 22, 2022, after the end of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong will visit China to show the Vietnamese Communist Party's support for the results of the Chinese Communist Party Congress. This is the most practical congratulatory gesture. General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a prestigious leader not only to the Vietnamese people but also to other communist parties around the world; therefore, this visit is more popular with China and more valuable for promoting relations between the two parties and the two countries. In the new era, the meeting between Party General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping and Party General Secretary of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong has important, friendly, friendship and substantial achievements for China-Vietnam relations and the socialist cause of the two countries. The friendship between the two peoples is the social basis and source of strength for the long-term, sustained and sound development of bilateral relations. 72 years of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and China, we can look back at the past, reflect on the lessons of history to look forward to the future.
