Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday met with Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, who is in north China's Tianjin Municipality for the 2025 Summer Davos.

Noting that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam, Li said the deep friendship of "comrades and brothers" has remained firm and fresh over time. Since the successful visit of Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese president, to Vietnam in April, comprehensive strategic cooperation between China and Vietnam has continued to advance.

China is willing to further implement the outcomes of President Xi's visit to Vietnam to bring more benefits to both peoples, Li said.

Li pointed out that unstable and uncertain factors in the current international situation continue to increase. China and Vietnam should strengthen unity, enhance strategic communication and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation. This, he said, would benefit not only both countries but also the region and the world.

He noted that China is ready to accelerate the alignment of development strategies with Vietnam, implement the cooperation plan on synergizing the Belt and Road Initiative with the Two Corridors and One Economic Circle strategy, expand cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence, the digital economy and green development, and jointly foster new economic drivers.

Both sides should enhance exchanges and cooperation in culture, tourism, education and media, and jointly hold a series of activities for the China-Vietnam Year of People-to-People Exchange, Li added.

China welcomes Vietnam to become a BRICS partner country and is willing to work with Vietnam to safeguard free trade and the multilateral trading system, promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and inject more stability and positive energy into world peace and development, Li said.

Pham Minh Chinh said Vietnam is willing to work with China to implement the important consensus reached by the top leaders of the two parties, further enhance high-level exchanges, improve political mutual trust, strengthen strategic communication, promote practical cooperation, and deepen people-to-people and cultural exchanges.

Vietnam firmly supports the three major global initiatives proposed by President Xi and looks forward to strengthening multilateral cooperation with China, defending multilateralism and safeguarding common interests, he noted.
