BEIJING — Politburo member and Secretary of the Hà Nội Party Co妹妹ittee Đinh Tiến Dũng voiced proposals to boost ties between the two Parties, States and capitals in the coming time during talks with his Beijing counterpart Yin Li in Beijing on Wednesday.

Dũng suggested the further exchange of visits, especially those at the highest level, in order to keep strengthening mutual understanding and trust, as well as to provide direction for the healthy and stable development of the Việt Nam-China relationship.

He proposed continuing to follow co妹妹on perceptions reached by the two Party leaders and the Việt Nam-China Joint Statement, as well as the leaders’ directions in order to enhance bilateral substantive cooperation across various fields and encourage localities to increase friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation.

It is a need to cultivate ties between the two capitals via effectively following the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation between Hà Nội and Beijing signed in  二0 二 二 and other MoUs between their units and agencies, he said, calling for increased exchanges at all levels and jointly holding activities marking the  三0th anniversary of the friendship between the two capitals.

Agreeing with Dũng's proposals, Politburo member and Secretary of the Beijing Party Co妹妹ittee Yin Li said his visit holds significance at a time when the two countries are celebrating the  一 五th anniversary of comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and the  二 九th anniversary of twinning ties between Beijing and Hà Nội.

Beijing, with its rich cultural heritage and experience in preserving and promoting cultural and historical values and urban development, especially in transportation infrastructure, construction and operation of its urban rail system consisting of  二 七 lines, is ready to share experience and cooperate with Hanoi in these fields, he said.

Speaking highly of the signing of the MoU on cooperation in six areas between the two capital cities, Li also agreed to deepen cooperation and enhance people-to-people exchange with Hanoi, thus nurturing a solid people-based friendship foundation.

Later, the two city leaders witnessed the signing of six memoranda of understanding on cooperation in specialised fields, including personnel training, urban planning, health care, heritage preservation, sports, film and youth exchange. — VNS
