Addressing some 5,000 youth delegates from the two countries, Politburo member and Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan said the Vietnamese-Chinese friendship has been nurtured by late Presidents Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong, other leaders and peoples of the two nations. It is a valuable common asset of both sides.
At present, their comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership is being intensified by the two Parties and States, she noted.
She said a long road full of difficulties and challenges is still awaiting the countries during the course of development. That requests Vietnamese and Chinese youths to keep working hard and devoting themselves for their future, as well as the two peoples’ happiness.
She assured that the Party and State of Vietnam always pay special attention to and provides the best possible conditions for Vietnamese and Chinese younger generations to engage in friendship exchanges so as to boost mutual understanding and trust.
Chairwoman Ngan applauded cooperation initiatives launched by the countries’ youth organisations, considering the youth festival as an effective initiative.
As the future owners of their respective nations, Vietnamese and Chinese youths have a responsibility to develop their countries along with the bilateral friendship for each country’s interests and peace, stability and prosperity in the region and around the world, she added.
Speaking at the event, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China Zhang Dejiang said his visit aims to further strengthen bilateral friendship and practical cooperation, and enrich the contents of the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries.
