The general secretary of the Communist Party of China and the general secretary of the Communist Party of China met with representatives of young people and friendly personages of China and Vietnam in Hanoi, Vietnam on the 13th and delivered an important speech, looking back on the past of the two countries being like-minded and helping each other, based on the original intention and win-win cooperation, looking forward to the future of related and shared destiny, and hoped that the young people and friendly people of the two countries will be the inheritors of China-Vietnam friendship, strive to be participants in the revitalization of the Asia-Pacific region, and dare to be pioneers of human progress, and jointly create a new journey for the construction of a community with a shared future between China and Vietnam.
In modern times, the two parties and peoples of China and Vietnam have adhered to their common ideals and beliefs, and have stood together through thick and thin and supported each other in the process of striving for national independence and national liberation. President Ho Chi Minh's famous poem "Vietnam-China friendship is deep, comrades and brothers" has become an indelible historical memory of the people of the two countries for those eventful years. Over the past 15 years since the establishment of the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, the Chinese and Vietnamese parties have adhered to the people-centered principle and vigorously promoted mutually beneficial cooperation, bringing tangible benefits to the two peoples.
Since the beginning of the new era, the general secretaries of the Chinese and Vietnamese parties have exchanged visits twice, effectively leading the healthy and stable development of China-Vietnam relations. During this visit, which is the first time in six years, the general secretary and the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong announced the building of a community with a shared future between China and Vietnam of strategic significance, opening a new stage in the development of relations between the two parties and two countries between China and Vietnam. This major strategic decision, made in the light of revitalizing world socialism and realizing the long-term peace and stability of China and Vietnam, is deeply rooted in the traditional friendship between China and Vietnam and conforms to the common interests and aspirations of the two peoples.
Renewing the traditional friendship and working together for common development is in the fundamental interests of the two countries and the two peoples. The traditional friendship between the peoples of the two countries has withstood the test of historical years and changes in the international situation, provided an inexhaustible impetus for the development of bilateral relations, and laid a solid foundation of public opinion. The foundation of China-Vietnam friendship lies in the people and the future lies in the youth. Friendly people from all walks of life in the two countries, especially the younger generation, should become frontrunners in the journey of China-Vietnam friendship and contribute to the realization of their respective countries' centenary journey and the building of a China-Vietnam community with a shared future of strategic significance.
Both China and Vietnam are responsible members of the international community and should be the backbone of advancing the cause of human progress. On the new journey, friendly people from all walks of life in the two countries, especially the younger generation, should hold high the banner of the Asia-Pacific community, gather more positive energy for unity and forge ahead, and jointly make greater contributions to building a harmonious and prosperous Asia-Pacific regionIt is necessary to shoulder the responsibilities of the times with a broader mind and a broader vision, speak out for international fairness and justice, contribute to global development and progress, and make unremitting efforts to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
Don't forget where you came, and you know where to go. Looking forward to the future, the people of the two countries will join hands and shoulder to shoulder the baton of China-Vietnam friendship, which will surely promote the continuous flowering and fruition of the tree of China-Vietnam friendship and make greater contributions to the development and prosperity of the two countries and the cause of human progress.
