当前，中越双方正在加紧落实习近平总书记、国家主席去年底历史性访越成果，具有战略意义的中越命运共同体建设实现良好开局。苏林总书记就任后将中国作为出访的首个国家，充分体现对发展中越两党两国关系的高度重视。中方期待通过此访，赓续传统友好，深化中越命运共同体建设，携手走好具有各自特色的社会主义现代化道路，共同促进世界社会主义事业发展，为地区和世界和平、稳定与发展作出积极贡献。

China and Viet Nam are working intensively to implement the outcomes achieved during General Secretary and President Xi Jinping’s historic visit to Viet Nam at the end of last year. Efforts to build the China-Viet Nam community with a shared future that carries strategic significance  have had a good start.

Through this visit, China looks forward to carrying forward traditional friendship, deepening the building of the China-Viet Nam community with a shared future, and working with Viet Nam to achieve success in our respective socialist paths towards modernization with distinctive characteristics, jointly advance the global socialist cause, and contribute to regional and global peace, stability and development.
