Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 18. On January 18, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and President Xi Jinping exchanged congratulatory messages with General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Su Lin and President Liang Qiang exchanged congratulatory messages to warmly celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Xi Jinping pointed out that China and Vietnam are socialist friendly neighbors and strategically significant community of shared future. In the 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, in the glorious years of striving for national independence and national liberation, the two sides have fought side by side and supported each other. "Vietnam-China has deep friendship, comrades and brothers" has become the most vivid portrayal of the relationship between the two parties and the two countries. In the cause of socialist construction, the two sides have learned from each other and worked together, and comprehensive strategic cooperation has continued to deepen. Like-mindedness and shared destiny have become the most distinctive characteristics of the relationship between the two parties and the two countries. I successfully visited Vietnam in 2023. The two sides announced that they would work together to build a strategically significant China-Vietnam community with a shared future, and the relationship between the two parties and the two countries has entered a new stage.

Xi Jinping stressed that the current changes in the world, the times and the historical changes are developing in an unprecedented way. China and Vietnam continue to follow the socialist path, which is related to the future and destiny of the two parties and two countries and the future of the world socialist cause. It is of great significance to peace, stability, development and prosperity in the region and even the world. I attach great importance to the development of China-Vietnam relations and are willing to work with you to take the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the "China-Vietnam Cultural Exchange Year" as an opportunity, keep in mind the original aspiration and mission, deepen strategic mutual trust, strengthen pragmatic cooperation, continue to work together and move forward in the new journey of socialist modernization, promote the construction of a strategically significant China-Vietnam community with a shared future to achieve new results, better benefit the people of both countries, and make important contributions to the revitalization of the cause of world socialism and promote the progress of human development.

Su Lin said that over the past 75 years, the two parties and the two countries have joined hands to form a traditional friendship of "Vietnam-China deep friendship, comrades and brothers." The Vietnamese Party, government and people have always regarded the development of relations with China as a consistent proposition and priority of Vietnam's foreign policy. Against the backdrop of profound and complex evolution of the international and regional situation and the socialist cause of the two countries entering a critical stage, the supreme leaders of the two parties and the two countries agreed to build a strategically significant community of Vietnam-China destiny. I firmly believe that under the personal care and guidance of the senior leaders of the two parties and countries, all departments of the two sides will work closely together to promote the construction of a community with a shared future between Vietnam and China to a new level. Liang Qiang said that the historical practice of the 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and China has proved that developing traditional friendly relations between the two countries is in line with the fundamental aspirations and long-term interests of the people of the two countries, and will contribute to regional and world peace, stability, cooperation and development. Vietnam is willing to work with China to continue to deepen comprehensive strategic cooperation and promote the construction of a strategically significant Vietnam-China community with a shared future. I believe that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core and under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, China will successfully realize the various goals and tasks proposed by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and build China into a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern country.

On the same day, Premier Li Qiang and Prime Minister of the Vietnamese Government Fan Mingzheng sent congratulatory messages. Li Qiang said that I am willing to work with Comrade Prime Minister to earnestly implement the important consensus of the supreme leaders of the two parties and two countries, and promote the development of bilateral relations and cooperation in various fields between the two countries to a new level.

Fan Mingzheng said that Vietnam is willing to strengthen supervision and guidance with China on all departments and localities of both sides, accelerate the implementation of important cooperation plans, and promote the implementation of consensus on the "six updates" of the two parties and two countries.
