Marking the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations, the article highlights historical bonds, mutual trust, and a shared journey toward progress.
President Xi emphasized that the strong connection rooted in revolutionary tradition has evolved into a modern partnership. His remarks shed light on how decades of people-to-people exchanges, high-level dialogues, and cooperative projects in trade, infrastructure, and clean energy are shaping a vibrant community in Asia. Notably, bilateral trade has surpassed $260 billion in 2024, and more than 3.7 million Chinese visits have bolstered cultural and economic links.

From smart port developments to expanding railway connectivity and clean energy initiatives, the vision is to create a win-win environment that benefits both nations and contributes to regional prosperity.
Looking ahead, President Xi called for enhancing multilateral collaboration to counter global challenges such as unilateralism and protectionism. The proposed initiatives aim to uphold a rules-based international order, nurture innovation through emerging technologies like 5G and artificial intelligence, and ultimately forge a future of lasting peace and stability in Asia.
This renewed commitment underscores that the China-Vietnam relationship, built on rich historical foundations and evolving with modern innovations, stands as a beacon for global cooperation and shared progress in an ever-changing world.
