HANOI -- Chinese President Hu Jintao said on Friday that China and
Vietnam will further boost their bilateral ties and economic and trade
cooperation.
The two countries and two peoples will become good neighbors, friends,
comrades as well as good partners by deepening their good- neighborly
relations and expanding cooperation of mutual benefit, Hu said when
meeting with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
Hu, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central
Committee, said the two countries should encourage their enterprises to
explore new areas of bilateral trade, launch large-scale projects in
industry, infrastructure and energy areas, and strengthen multilateral
economic cooperation.
"China and Vietnam, both as countries with rapid economic growth, have
great potential for broader trade and economic cooperation," he added.
Dung said Hu's ongoing visit has elevated the all-round friendly
cooperation between the two countries and two parties to a new height.
The Vietnamese government will earnestly implement the consensus reached
between leaders of the two countries.
The Chinese president is in Hanoi for a state visit, where he will also
attend the 14th economic leaders' informal meeting of the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation (APEC) slated for Saturday and Sunday.
Dung also highly appreciated China's efforts and contributions to develop
its ties with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Vietnam is a member of ASEAN, which also groups Brunei, Cambodia,
Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore and
Thailand.
