Xi bids farewell to Lam

China and Vietnam should be a community with a shared future for the socialist cause, said President Xi Jinping on Wednesday when he and his wife Peng Liyuan bid farewell to Vietnamese President To Lam and his wife Ngo Phuong Ly in Beijing.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said he had a long, in-depth exchange of views with To Lam, also general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee, on issues of common concern that have strategic and overarching significance, and reached many new important consensuses.

Xi said both China and Vietnam are socialist countries, and should continue to forge ahead firmly to the direction set by this road and build a community with a shared future for the socialist cause.

The two countries are good neighbors who share weal and woe and are moving towards modernization together, he said, calling on both sides to build a community with a shared future for achieving modernization.

Xi said both China and Vietnam advocate harmony among all nations, and should be partners in promoting the building of a community with a shared future for humanity against the background of the changes in the world unseen in a century.

Noting that To Lam will set off to visit Guangxi to gain a deeper understanding of China once again, Xi said China stands ready to work with Vietnam to lead the building of a China-Vietnam community with a shared future onto a fast track of development.

To Lam expressed gratitude to Xi and the Chinese side for their comradely and brotherly hospitality to the Vietnamese delegation, saying that China's special arrangements demonstrate its special friendship with Vietnam, which has deeply touched the Vietnamese side.

Vietnam-China relations are at their best in history, and this visit, with many important consensuses reached and many cooperation agreements signed, has achieved complete success, he said.

To Lam said that during the visit, the Vietnamese delegation saw significant outcomes of the implementation of a series of major theories proposed by Xi.

Vietnam is willing to work with China to fully implement the important consensuses reached during this visit, turn them into new impetus for promoting friendly cooperation between the two sides, facilitate greater development of the two countries, and make new strides in building a higher-level community with a shared future that carries strategic significance, he said.

To Lam also visited the Museum of the Communist Party of China on Wednesday afternoon.

China has delivered a significant batch of emergency humanitarian aid to Iran, consisting of 58 tonnes of urgently needed medical supplies, as Iran grapples with the consequences of the recent conflict with the United States and Israel.

The aid was formally handed over on Wednesday during a signing ceremony in Tehran between the Chinese Embassy in Iran and the Iranian Red Crescent Society. Chinese Ambassador to Iran Cong Peiwu and President of the Iranian Red Crescent Society Pir Hossein Kolivand attended the event.

Cong said that China has always been concerned about the Iranian people and will continue to work with the international community to promote the early restoration of peace and stability in the Middle East.

"This aid package, totaling 58 tonnes, consists entirely of medicines. The recent war launched by the United States and Israel has caused a major humanitarian disaster for Iran, and medicine is in urgent need. Through this assistance, we hope to demonstrate the deep friendship of the Chinese people toward the Iranian people and help them overcome these hardships as soon as possible," said Cong.

Kolivand expressed sincere gratitude to China for extending a helping hand during difficult times and for providing valuable support to Iran on various occasions.

"In addition to China's support for the Iranian government, China's humanitarian aid has also been delivered to Iran. This assistance reflects China's care and compassion for our country and people. We extend our heartfelt gratitude, with special appreciation for the delivery of nearly 60 tonnes of medicine from China," he said.
