BEIJING, May 31 (Xinhua) --
Under their new partnership, China and Vietnam will step up mutual
political trust, work more closely on various fields and deepen
friendship between their citizens, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said
Saturday.
"The biggest achievement out of your tour is the establishment of an
all-round strategic cooperative partnership, which charts a new path
for future China-Vietnam ties," Wen told Nong Duc Manh, general
secretary of Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee, in
Beijing on Saturday morning.
China and Vietnam elevated their ties to an all-round strategic
cooperative partnership amid the Vietnam's Communist Party chief's
visit to China.
The visit was Manh's fourth since he took the CPV helm in 2001.
Chinese President Hu Jintao and Manh agreed in their talks on Friday
to upgrade bilateral ties from a good neighbor and all-round
cooperative relation to a strategic partnership.
In his hour-long talk with Manh, Wen focused on outlining the
economic and trade collaboration between the two countries.
"China and Vietnam should speed up mapping out and implementing a
five-year economic and trade cooperation program," he said.
Wen called for both countries to quickly launch big projects in key
fields of industry, infrastructure and energy, and encouraged
Chinese businessmen to invest more in Vietnam.
Sharing Wen's view, Manh said bilateral trade hit the target of 15
billion U.S. dollars in 2007, three years earlier than scheduled.
"We are convinced that it will not be difficult for our trade to
reach 20 billion U.S. dollars per year in the near future," Manh
said.
Noting this year marked the 30-year anniversary of China's reform
and opening up, Manh said the Vietnamese side is happy to see the
tremendous achievements China has made.
Wen appreciated Vietnam's generous support to China's post-quake
relief efforts as Manh brought with him 15 tonnes of relief supplies
for survivors of the Sichuan Province earthquake.
During Manh's four-day tour, he will also visit the eastern Jiangsu
Province.
