He appreciated the pioneering role and position of Guangxi in promoting the friendship and practical cooperation with Việt Nam.

Chen said Việt Nam is a close neighbour and a leading partner of Guangxi, affirming that the Party organisation and administration of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, as well as himself personally, attach great importance to the friendship and cooperation with Vietnamese localities.
Guangxi will continue to take the lead in thoroughly and fruitfully implementing the shared perceptions of the top leaders of both Parties and countries regarding the further enhancement of the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and the building of the Việt Nam – China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance, he affirmed.
