Beijing, October 31st—Liu Haixing, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee (IDCPC), met here today with Pham Thanh Binh, Vietnamese Ambassador to China.

Liu said, in recent years, under the personal guidance and active involvement of the general secretaries of the two Parties, the relations between the two Parties and the two countries have enjoyed vigorous development, setting a fine example of common progress, solidarity and cooperation between socialist countries and developing countries. The CPC is willing to work with the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) to jointly implement the important consensus reached between the top leaders of the two Parties, continuously deepen high-level exchanges, strengthen institutionalized exchange and cooperation mechanisms, and jointly steer the sound and steady development of bilateral relations. Liu briefed on the main outcomes of the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. He noted that the scientific formulation and successive implementation of the five-year plan are important governance experience shared by both the CPC and the CPV, as well as key political advantages of the socialist systems of the two countries. China stands ready to strengthen exchanges and mutual learning with Vietnam, share development opportunities, and work hand in hand along the path toward socialist modernization. 

Pham Thanh Binh said, under the strategic guidance of the top leaders of the two Parties and the two countries, the relations between Vietnam and China have achieved breakthroughs in various fields and are currently at the best stage in history. The inter-party relations between Vietnam and China play an important leading role in the bilateral relations. Vietnam is willing to maintain the momentum of high-level exchanges with China and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance. Vietnam congratulates on the successful convening of the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. The plenary session adopted the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), which has charted the course for China's future economic and social development and laid a solid foundation for basically achieving socialist modernization by 2035. It is believed that the goals of the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030) will be smoothly achieved and will also bring new dividends to Vietnam-China cooperation.
