Minh lauded close collaboration between the two foreign ministries in coordinating Vietnam – China cooperative ties across sectors.
He said the two bodies should continue upholding their role as permanent agencies of the Vietnam-China Steering Committee for Bilateral Cooperation, and make good preparations for bilateral visits and meetings of senior officials of the two countries.
The Deputy PM suggested that the two ministries should work to enhance efficiency of bilateral cooperation and support partnerships between the two countries’ localities, particularly those in border areas.

He urged the two sides to hold discussions on the re-signing of their bilateral cooperation protocol, maintain exchanges between their leaders, and strengthen liaison between their sub-units on policy research and making, media affairs, consular work and citizen protection.
