On behalf of the Party and State of Viet Nam, Ms. Ngan highlighted the friendship between Viet Nam and China.

The top legislator said the Party and State of Viet Nam have spared no effort to create the best conditions for the youths of the two countries to consolidate mutual understandings and confidence thus upholding fine values of the friendly neighborhood.

The Chairwoman also acknowledged and hailed initiatives of the youths.

For his part, Mr. Zhang Dejiang welcomed the successful festival in Viet Nam.

He hoped that via the official visit to Viet Nam he would contribute to cementing and deepening the friendship and promoting practical cooperation and the comprehensive strategic partnership.

The Party and Government of China always give a priority to and support the Viet Nam-China youth exchange, the Chinese Chairman added.

He also called on the youths to seize opportunities of the bilateral ties on tourism, overseas studying, and businesses to consolidate mutual understanding and serve as a bridge to narrow down the bilateral gap.

Chairman Zhang Dejiang highlighted the trade ties in which China has been Viet Nam’s largest trade partner over the last decade. In the first half of 2016, Viet Nam became China’s biggest trade partner in ASEAN.

Thus, the Chinese Chairman hoped that the youths would become pioneers in all areas such as economics, culture, education as well as environmental protection./.
