In a heartfelt gesture, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the Embassy of Vietnam in China on Saturday to mourn the passing of Nguyen Phu Trong, the beloved General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee. ❤️
President Xi hailed Nguyen Phu Trong as a dedicated Marxist and a legendary leader for the CPV and the Vietnamese people. He highlighted Nguyen's lifelong commitment to his party, his country, and the cause of socialism in Vietnam, noting that he was deeply respected and admired by everyone. 🙏
\"The passing of Comrade Nguyen Phu Trong has taken from us a strong supporter of China-Vietnam relations and a companion in the cause of socialism,\" Xi expressed with deep sorrow. Over the past decade, they had built a solid friendship, and just last year, they took bilateral ties to the next level by creating a China-Vietnam community with a shared future—a major milestone! 🌟
Xi emphasized that Nguyen Phu Trong's amazing contributions to the relations between the two parties and countries, and to the global socialist movement, will always be remembered. He reassured that the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese government firmly support the CPV in leading the Vietnamese people toward a socialism that fits their own path. 🌏
\"We believe that under the strong leadership of the CPV Central Committee, the Vietnamese people will turn grief into strength,\" Xi said, confident that Vietnam will continue rocking it in renovation, opening up, and building socialism. He believes that China and Vietnam will keep working together, making big strides in building a shared future. 🤝
Vietnamese Ambassador to China Pham Sao Mai expressed deep gratitude for Xi's visit and condolences, highlighting the special bond the Chinese leader had with Nguyen Phu Trong. The ambassador noted Nguyen's huge efforts in boosting friendship between the two countries. 💙
\"We will carry on Nguyen Phu Trong's legacy,\" said the ambassador, pledging to stick to the important agreements made by the top leaders. Vietnam will continue to make friendship and cooperation with China a top priority, pushing forward the building of a Vietnam-China community with a shared future. 🚀
