PM Pham Minh Chinh’s four-day trip, made at the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Qiang, also includes attendance at the 10th Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) Summit, and the 11th Cambodia-Laos-Myanmar-Vietnam (CLMV) Cooperation Summit.

Welcoming him at the airport were Liu Fei, member of the standing board and head of the organisation commission of the Yunnan provincial Party Committee; Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam He Wei; and Vietnamese Ambassador to China Pham Sao Mai, among others.

These are the first in-person high-level activities of the GMS, ACMECS, and CLMV mechanisms since 2018. Vietnam views these cooperation platforms as strategic venues to connect with top partners and enhance international support for the Mekong sub-region's development.

Vietnam's active and proactive participation in these mechanisms reflects its commitment to contributing to the common interests of the region, improving sub-regional cooperation effectiveness, and effectively pooling external resources for national development.

This working trip comes at a time when Vietnam-China fine neighbourliness is flourishing, characterised by the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and a community with a shared future that carries strategic significance. The highlight is high-level visits between the two countries' leaders in recent times.

Economic cooperation, trade, and investment between Vietnam and China have seen substantial strides, with two-way trade reaching 171.9 billion USD in 2023. China remains Vietnam’s largest trade partner and second largest export market. Meanwhile, Vietnam is China's largest trade partner in ASEAN and its fifth largest globally.

The trip underscores Vietnam’s message of valuing and contributing to the promotion of the GMS, ACMECS, and CLMV mechanisms, as well as overall Mekong sub-regional cooperation, creating a breakthough in a new phase of development. At the same time, it aims to continue strengthening and boosting friendly neighbourliness and the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries and the Vietnam - China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance./.

The museum is envisioned not only as a repository preserving invaluable historical documents and artefacts of the Party, but also as a vivid and authentic reflection of the Party’s revolutionary journey. It will serve as a “red address” for revolutionary tradition education, helping to nurture faith and ideals among cadres, Party members and the public, especially the younger generation, while introducing international friends to the Party’s role and contributions to national liberation movements worldwide.
