Vietnamese diplomat visits Sichuan province to boost ties

VNA - Vietnamese ambassador to China Nguyen Van Tho paid a visit to the Chinese province of Sichuan on May 18, one year after a historic earthquake rocked the province.

During his two-day visit, the Vietnamese diplomat extended his condolences to Sichuan province’s leaders and people while being received by the Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Liu Qibao.

He expressed his belief that under the leadership of the provincial party and authority, the local people will soon overcome the aftermaths of the disaster and get their lives back to normal.

Ambassador Tho said that cooperative relations between Vietnam and China have developed in all fields, especially after the leaders of both countries agreed to build a comprehensive strategic partnership in May last year.

He confirmed that both parties should do their utmost to boost economic and trade cooperation to contribute in a practical way to improving the two countries’ friendship and the cooperation between Vietnamese localities and Sichuan province.

For his part, Liu Qibao thanked the Vietnamese Party, government and people for supporting the victims of the earthquake, adding that the Vietnamese ambassador’s visit to mark the occasion was extremely meaningful to the local people.

He talked about the province’s socio-economic development and expressed his pleasure at the development of the two countries’ relationship.

He also pledged to bolster the comprehensive cooperative relationship shown between Vietnamese localities and Sichuan province.

He called on Vietnamese businesses to actively take part in the 10th Western Fair which will be held in Sichuan in October this year.

On this occasion, ambassador Tho laid a wreath at a monument for the earthquake’s victims, presented gifts to primary school pupils in An district and visited Xinan Transport University./.
