(VNA): China's Guang Dong province should share its experiences in economic development with Vietnamese localities, President Tran Duc Luong said while talking with Guang Dong's leaders during his tour of the provincial capital city of Guang Zhou on July 20.

Meeting with Guang Dong's governor Huang Huahua, President Luong suggested Guang Dong, which has a fast growing economy, should encourage its big businesses to pour more investment in Vietnam, particularly in mechanical engineering, electronics and the manufacturing of agricultural machinery, and to actively participate in the newly-established economic beltway and the two corridors between China and Vietnam.

He proposed that the Chinese province should adopt mechanisms to facilitate Vietnamese goods entering its market, including the opening of centres that exclusively sell Vietnamese products.

The Vietnamese President said educating young people on the two countries' friendship and increasing cultural exchange between the province and localities in Vietnam will help promote mutual understanding and utilise their co-operative potential.

On this occasion, the Vietnamese leader expressed thanks to Guang Dong's local people for their efforts in preserving historical sites that witnessed revolutionary activities of the late President Ho Chi Minh and many other Vietnamese revolutionaries.

Governor Huang praised the co-operation between his province and Vietnamese localities and expressed his desire to further economic and trade ties between them.

The same day, President Luong met Chinese advisors and experts who took part in Vietnam's resistance wars against French and American aggressors.

The Vietnamese leader expressed his joy to meet the Chinese veterans and thanked them for their sacrifices and devotion to the Vietnamese people's  struggle for national independence.

He told them that the traditional friendship fostered by late Presidents Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong and other predecessors of the two countries have been unceasingly cemented and boosted.

President Luong said he believed the two countries' present and future generations will inherit the spirit of their predecessors and translate it into practical deeds to enhance the close friendship and all-around co-operation between the two countries.

The Chinese advisors and experts said they believed that President Luong's visit to China will strengthen the two countries' ties.

Later, President Luong and his entourage paid floral tribute to Vietnamese fallen combatant Pham Hong Thai at his grave, and visited the relics of the headquarters of the Vietnam Association of Young Revolutionary Comrades, the predecessor of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and the Vietnam Consulate in Guang Zhou.
