Leaders of Viet Nam, China meet for bilateral and China- ASEAN ties
Dung is in the city to attend a China-ASEAN summit on trade and investment as well as relevant trade fair from October 18-23. He said he highly valued China's efforts in cooperating with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), of which Viet Nam is a member. He said the annual China-ASEAN summit on trade and investment and the trade fair held in China are practical contributions to boosting the formation of a free China - ASEAN trade area.
In return, the Chinese Vice President described Dung's presence at the events as a vivid example of Viet Nam's close cooperation with China within the China-ASEAN framework.
The relationship between the two neighbours has blossomed in recent years, illustrated by regular high-level visits. This year alone, when the two countries are celebrating the 55th anniversary of their diplomatic relations, two top - ranking visits are taking place. President Tran Duc Luong of Viet Nam went to China in July, while President Hu Jintao, who is also General Secrectary of the Communist Party of China, is due to visit Viet Nam in November./.
