At a meeting with Xu Zhou, Acting Consul General of China in Ho Chi Minh City, Nguyen Thanh Trung congratulated China on its development achievements across various fields in recent years, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese Government, with the efforts of the Chinese people.
He expressed his pleasure at the continued strengthening and consolidation of Vietnam-China relations in general, as well as ties between Ho Chi Minh City and Chinese localities in particular.
For Ho Chi Minh City, cooperation in such areas as the economy, trade, tourism and people-to-people exchanges has contributed to making ties with Chinese localities increasingly substantive and effective.
Building on the sound foundation of friendship, Nguyen Thanh Trung expressed his hope that the two sides would further expand cooperation in areas where Ho Chi Minh City has demand and China has strengths, including logistics, the green economy, the circular economy, tourism and urban management.
He also expressed his hope that China would continue creating favorable conditions for Vietnamese agricultural products to gain easier access to the Chinese market.
Xu Zhou said China-Vietnam relations are developing very well, as evidenced by frequent mutual visits by senior leaders of the two countries and dynamic, positive economic and trade cooperation. Cooperation between Chinese localities and Ho Chi Minh City has also been strengthened and expanded.
The Consulate General of China in Ho Chi Minh City stands ready to serve as a bridge for Chinese and Vietnamese partners in general, and Chinese localities and Ho Chi Minh City in particular, to explore opportunities for cooperation and investment in the coming period.
