Earlier in September, Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang attended the ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War in Beijing.

At the meeting with Sang, Chinese President Xi Jinping said due to the joint efforts of the two sides, the relations between China and Vietnam have developed steadily.

The two sides have reached an important consensus on strengthening the implementation of the Belt and Road and Two Corridors, One Economic Belt initiatives, as well as production capacity cooperation and contributing to creating a strong momentum for the development of the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.

CLOSER TRADE, ECONOMIC TIES

Since the change in momentum to boost bilateral relations, China and Vietnam have experienced further development in economic, trade and cultural cooperation.

Construction of the blast furnace of a steel plant, a joint project between China and Vietnam, is expected to be completed at the end of this year.

Meanwhile, cargo trucks fully-loaded with Vietnamese agro-forestry-fishery products are often seen queuing up in long lines at Vietnam-China border gates.

Leading economists have said the trade and economic relations between China and Vietnam have been continuously strengthening.

BROADER SPACE FOR CULTURAL EXCHANGES

In recent years, people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two countries have been continuously strengthened.

Various activities, including forums, seminars, visits and exchanges between experts, scholars and media, as well as young people, have contributed to strengthening the friendship and mutual understanding between the two peoples.

Specifically, in December 2014, during his visit to Vietnam, Yu Zhengsheng attended the inauguration of the Confucius Institute at the Hanoi University.

In September this year, the Confucius Institute has organized many activities to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with the participation of teachers and students from 10 universities which have a Chinese language department in Vietnam.

These activities helped increase Vietnamese young people's understanding of Chinese culture, thus uniting the youth of both countries.

China and Vietnam have huge potential and space for further cooperation in the field of cultural exchanges.

The two sides can advance cultural and people-to-people exchanges to a higher level, so as to make people-to-people relations an impetus to promote country-to-country relations.

The friendly cooperation between China and Vietnam is in line with the fundamental interests of both countries and peoples, and is conducive to peace, stability and prosperity in the region.

There are a myriad reasons to believe that the relationship between China and Vietnam will continuously move forward in mutually positive directions, observers said.
