President Xi Jinping pointed out that during his state visit to Vietnam in April this year, the two sides reached important consensus on advancing the building of the China-Vietnam Community with a Shared Future under the new situation. All departments and localities of the two countries should step up efforts to implement the consensus and push for more substantive results in China-Vietnam comprehensive strategic cooperation. Facing the accelerating evolution of the once-in-a-century changes and the intertwined international situation of changes and chaos, China and Vietnam should firmly uphold confidence in their paths and systems, strengthen solidarity and collaboration, and ensure that the ship of the China-Vietnam Community with a Shared Future always sails steadily in the right direction.

China is willing to deepen exchanges of experience in party building and state governance with Vietnam, maintain high-level exchanges, and coordinate the advancement of strategic cooperation between the two countries. The two sides should actively promote cooperation in such fields as connectivity, digital economy and artificial intelligence, strengthen experience exchanges in the construction of free trade zones and special economic zones, and help each other's national modernization drive. They should continue to successfully hold the celebrations for the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam and the "Red Study Tour" for Vietnamese youth to China, and create more projects that benefit the people. They should also strengthen multilateral coordination and safeguard the common interests of the Global South.
