Hey amigos! 🎉 On Thursday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi sat down with Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son in Anning, Yunnan Province for a chat that's all about friendship and future plans.
Wang Yi, who's also part of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, praised the deep bond between the two neighbours, calling them “comrades and brothers” on their own path to socialist modernization.
He highlighted that amid “changes unseen in a century,” China stands ready to work with Vietnam to build a community with a shared future that has real strategic impact. 🌐
When it comes to business, the duo is all in. Wang Yi stressed the close economic ties, urging both sides to oppose unilateralism and protectionism, defend free trade rules, and protect the international trade system. He even encouraged Chinese companies to invest in Vietnam and dive into hot new fields like AI, digital economy, and commercial aircraft. 🚀💡
Bui Thanh Son, in town for the Lancang‑Mekong Cooperation Foreign Ministers' Meeting, said Vietnam is geared up for high-level exchanges later this year. Think stronger trade and investment links, railway connectivity, law enforcement cooperation, and sci‑tech innovation. He also emphasized keeping strategic communication active and standing together on global stages to maintain peace and stability. 🤝🛤️
Bottom line: China and Vietnam are levelling up their friendship in 2024 with fresh plans for deeper economic, tech, and strategic cooperation. Stay tuned—we are witnessing the next chapter of a neighbourhood power duo! 🌟
