Top legislator Wu Bangguo met with Pham The Duyet, chairman of
the presidium of central committee of Vietnam Fatherland Front in
Beijing Thursday.
China and Vietnam, both as socialist countries, have witnessed
deepening political trust and effective cooperation in various
fields, said Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National
People's Congress (NPC).
Under the complex and volatile international situation, it is in
the fundamental interests of both countries to further consolidate
and strengthen China-Vietnam friendship, said Wu.
The NPC will work with the Vietnamese parliament to facilitate
nation-to-nation relations, Wu noted.
Vietnam cherished friendship with China and expressed admiration
for the achievements China has made in its reform and opening-up
process, said Pham The Duyet, adding that Vietnam will make efforts
to lift bilateral relations to a new height.
Pham The Duyet, at the invitation of Chinese top political
advisor Jia Qinglin, started his China visit on November 5.
