After our country's two-day visit to Vietnam, we made an important statement that China and Vietnam will work together to build a community with a shared future. The concept of a community with a shared future is unusual, and it means that our relationship with Vietnam will be further strengthened and become even closer. The concept of a community with a shared future stems from the common interests and cooperation between the two countries, emphasizing the close ties between the two countries. China usually advocates building a community with a shared future for mankind, but it is rare to work directly with a country to build a community with a shared future, and in addition to Laos, Vietnam has become the second country to build a community with a shared future with China. This shows that we attach a different level of importance to Vietnam, and it also reflects the special significance of our relations with Vietnam.
Vietnam in the near futureInternational RelationsThis is mainly due to the improvement of relations with the United States. In September, U.S.** Biden visited Vietnam and elevated bilateral relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership, which shows the importance that the United States attaches to Vietnam. China may have sensed this as well, so in the same month after Biden's visit, we sent a high-level delegation on a two-day visit to Vietnam. This visit can be said to have given Vietnam two great gifts, one is the proposal to jointly build a community with a shared future, and the other is the commitment to assist Vietnam Railway.
InSino-VietnameseDuring the meeting, China and Vietnam signed 37 agreements, including providing free assistance to Vietnamese railways. This means that our country will finance the construction of a railway from Kunming, Yunnan Province to Hai Phong, Vietnam's third largest city, as well as other cities in the south of the countryHanoitransportation projects. This assistance program will not only help promote Vietnam's economic development and infrastructure development, but will also be strengthenedSino-VietnameseConnectivity and exchanges between the two countries. This is an important signal to Vietnam that shows our support and willingness to cooperate with Vietnam.
Vietnam's strategic position is inChina and the United StatesCompetitive games are becoming more and more important. In fact, our country faces three areas of instability, namely the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea Islands, and the Sino-Indian border. The Taiwan Strait issue has always been a top priority for our country, and there are many disputes over Nanhai Zhudao that often cause friction and conflict, and there are also long-standing disputes over the Sino-Indian border issue. Therefore, our country has been committed to resolving the problems of these three regions, especially the stability of the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, which is essential for resolving the Taiwan Strait issue.
Strategically located in the South China Sea, Vietnam has many excellent deep-water ports and longCoastline。Establishing good relations with Vietnam will help protect China's southern gate and contribute to the stability of the South China Sea. Aid to Vietnam's railway construction is not only to promote Vietnam's economic development, but also to strengthen itSino-VietnameseMutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries and stability in the region. This shows the importance we attach to Vietnam, and it also reflects itChina and the United StatesThe two countries are competing to co-opt Vietnam's efforts.
China and the United StatesThe competition between Vietnam is the fundamental reason why Vietnam has become so important. U.S. attention and elevation of Vietnam have made Vietnam inInternational Relationsin the spotlight. Our country's emphasis on Vietnam is also out of the rightChina and the United StatesCompetitive reactions. Vietnam's geographical location in the South China Sea is very importantCoastlineIt is long, there are many ports, it has abundant resources and good economic potential. Therefore,China and the United StatesBoth countries hope to enlist Vietnam's support and cooperation.
For our country, it is of utmost importance to resolve the issues in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. The Taiwan Strait issue has always been a key issue for our country, and the stability of Nanhai Zhudao also has a direct impact on the settlement of the Taiwan Strait issue. Vietnam, as one of the parties to the South China Sea dispute, has a number of island disputes with China in the South China Sea. Therefore, the establishment of good relations with Vietnam will help stabilize the situation in the South China Sea and create favorable conditions for resolving the Taiwan Strait issue.
To sum up, China has given two great gifts to Vietnam, jointly building a community with a shared future and assisting Vietnam in railway construction, which reflects our concern and importance for Vietnam. Cooperation with Vietnam not only helpsSino-VietnameseThe common development of the two sides is also rightChina and the United StatesCompetitive responses. Vietnam's geopolitical position in the South China Sea is important and closely related to the Taiwan Strait issue of our country. Therefore, our country not only needs to maintain stable relations with Vietnam, but also needs to strengthen cooperation with it and respond togetherInternationalThe challenges of the situation.
