He noted the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership has been thriving in recent years as seen through regular mutual visits by their senior leaders. In 2015, Vietnam became the biggest ASEAN trading partner of China, which in turn posted a record increase of its tourists in 2016, reaching some 2.7 million, to the Southeast Asian nation.
Many cooperation agreements between Vietnamese localities and Guangdong have been implemented, strengthening their economic, trade, investment, tourism, cultural and sci-tech partnerships.
At the end of November 2016, trade between Vietnam and Guangdong rose 2 percent year on year to about 15.2 billion USD, Hong said, voicing his belief that their multi-faceted ties will keep expanding in the future.
Echoing Hong’s view, Guangdong Deputy Governor He Zhongyou said the traditional friendship between the two countries has been fortified with growing exchanges and cooperation in all fields between their Parties and States.
Guangdong and Vietnam have also enjoyed significant cooperation achievements in terms of high-ranking visits, trade, investment, agriculture, tourism and culture thanks to strong promotion by the countries’ Party and State leaders and the Consul General’s active coordination.
The fifth meeting on coordinating Vietnam-Guangdong cooperation took place in Guangzhou city, approving a bilateral cooperation plan for 2015-2017 which is a solid foundation for the new period of cooperation. With that foundation, both sides are hopeful about a future of sound cooperation.
