Vietnam's President Tran Dai Quang (R) meets with visiting President of China's Xinhua News Agency Cai Mingzhao in Hanoi, Vietnam, on May 24, 2017.

The development success of Vietnam and China is the opportunity for both countries, and they should learn from and help each other, Vietnam's President Tran Dai Quang said here on Wednesday when meeting with visiting President of China's Xinhua News Agency Cai Mingzhao.

Recent frequent visits between leaders of Vietnam and China have reached many consensus on strengthening the bilateral comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, said Quang, adding that he just finished his visit to China and participated in the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation held in Beijing.

Vietnam has always valued the good-neighborly friendship with China, hoping to push forward the healthy, stable, long-term and sustainable development of relations between the two countries, two parties and two peoples, said Quang.

Quang welcomed the cooperation agreement signed between Xinhua News Agency and Vietnam News Agency (VNA), hoping the two agencies can keep close cooperation in reporting the achievements of both countries in building socialism and the friendship between the two countries, parties and peoples, thus contributing to strengthening the bilateral relations and enhancing the mutual understanding and trust between the two peoples.

Vietnam will host APEC Summit later this year, said Quang, expecting Xinhua to expand its report on the summit and contribute to its success.

Cai, for his part, said that as one of the most important media agencies in their respective countries, Xinhua and VNA shoulder the responsibility of creating favorable environment for the healthy development of bilateral relations.

Based on the consensus reached by leaders of the two countries, Xinhua will play its role as a bridge of friendship between the peoples of Vietnam and China by strengthening reports on bilateral traditional friendship, the achievements of opening up and reform in the two countries and the results of bilateral cooperation in various areas, said Cai.
