Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, met with special envoys of leaders of the ruling parties of Vietnam and Laos in Beijing on Monday.

Hoang Binh Quan, special envoy of Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee, and Sounthone Xayachack, special envoy of Bounnhang Vorachit, general secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP) Central Committee, visited Beijing to congratulate Xi on his re-election as the general secretary of the CPC Central Committee after the 19th CPC National Congress last week.

During his meeting with Hoang, Xi called for joint efforts to promote the sustainable, healthy and stable development of relations between China and Vietnam.

The new leadership of the CPC Central Committee will work with the CPV Central Committee leadership to deepen strategic communication, enhance political mutual trust, implement important consensus and adequately handle related issues to promote sustainable, healthy and stable development of bilateral ties, Xi said.

He told the Lao envoy that the new leadership of the CPC Central Committee will work with the LPRP to strengthen political guidance for closer bilateral ties.

"The ruling parties of China and Laos should bear in mind the strategic significance of bilateral ties with a higher and deeper perspective, so as to contribute to the development of the two countries as well as the world socialist development," Xi said.
