A get-together was held in
the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on October 1 to celebrate the 64th National Day of China.
Addressing the event, Standing
Deputy Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Le Hung Dung said
the Vietnam-China diplomatic ties have come a long way over the past 64
years.
He said the friendship between Vietnam and China
is a common treasure of the people in both countries, hailing the
important common perceptions reached by the two nations’ leaders on
developing Vietnam-China links over the past years.
Numerous
Chinese firms have recently helped drive Can Tho’s socio-economic
development. The city and China’s Shantou city in Guangdong
province struck a cooperation deal as part of efforts to bolster ties
between Vietnam and China.
Earlier, Dung received
newly-appointed Chinese Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City Chai Wenrui,
during which he voiced his wish that more Chinese firms will do business
in the city.
Chai Wenrui promised to bring to the city more Chinese firms which are keen to invest in Can Tho.-VNA
