The
5th session of the Vietnam-China Steering Committee for Bilateral Cooperation
was held in Hanoi on Sept. 6 under the chair of Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen
Thien Nhan and Chinese State Councillor Dai Bingguo.
In a sincere, frank and friendly atmosphere,
the two sides exchanged in-depth views and reached a broad common perception on
the more comprehensive development of the Vietnam-China relationship.
During the course of the session, Party
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung
separately received Chinese State Councillor Dai Bingguo. Dai conveyed a verbal
message of Chinese Party General Secretary Hu Jintao to his Vietnamese
counterpart Nguyen Phu Trong on the development of relations between the two
Parties and countries.
On the occasion of the 5th founding
anniversary of the steering committee, the two sides positively valued the
steering committee’s activities over the past five years, saying that it has
brought into play its important role in coordinating and promoting the
friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two Parties and countries
in a more intensive, practical and effective manner and in conformity with the
fundamental interests and common aspirations of both countries’ people.
The two sides said, in the current context of
complicated international situation and profound changes, Vietnam-China
relations are developing healthily and stably, meeting the fundamental
interests of the two nations’ people and benefiting regional peace, stability
and development.
The two sides agreed to maintain high-ranking
meetings, fully promote the role of the steering committee, make a master plan
on cooperation in various fields, exchange experience in national management
and continue to well organise theoretical seminars between the two Parties.
The two sides also agreed to effectively
promote cooperation mechanisms between sectors, further deepen practical
cooperation in the fields of economics, trade, military affairs, law
enforcement, security, science, education and health care, and expand
people-to-people exchanges in order to ensure that Vietnam-China relations
always develop in an active, healthy and stable direction.
The two sides held that the satisfactory
settlement of the sea-related issues is very important to maintaining the
general situation of Vietnam-China friendly and cooperative relations,
affirming that they would base on the common perception of the two countries’
leaders, international law and the spirit of the Declaration on the Conduct of
Parties in the East Sea (DOC) and persistently pursue friendly talks and
negotiations to peacefully settle marine disputes and take effective measures
to maintain and defend peace and stability in the East Sea.
Both sides will speed up the pace of
negotiations and seek fundamental and long-term solutions acceptable to both
sides. The two sides agreed to increase negotiations on sea-related issues so
as to soon sign an agreement on basic principles on guiding the settlement of
sea issues between Vietnam and China. The two sides will also speed up the
implementation of the DOC and future work to soon make practical progress./.
