Phuc told interests outweigh differences
PRESIDENT Xi Jinping yesterday called on China and Vietnam to solve the South China Sea issue through bilateral consultations.
During a meeting with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Xi said the two countries’ common interests far outweigh their differences.
He said China and Vietnam can manage their differences and promote maritime cooperation through friendly consultations.
Both sides should use current negotiation mechanisms, such as border talks between governments, to actively push forward joint exploration of waters outside the Beibu Gulf, Xi said.
He called on the two countries to achieve substantial progress on the joint development of a wider area of the South China Sea at an early date and transform maritime challenges into opportunities for cooperation.
Phuc said his country is willing to work with China to enhance trust, promote cooperation, and properly manage and control differences.
Phuc is visiting China for the first time since he was elected prime minister in July. It is also the first high-level visit to Beijing by Vietnamese leaders since the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam held in January.
Vietnam regards its ties with China as the country’s foreign policy priority, Phuc said.
Xi called on both sides to coordinate more, hold high-level visits, promote strategic integration, strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation and enhance people-to-people exchanges.
At present, China-Vietnam relations are sound, Xi said, and he hoped both sides will promote a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and bring tangible benefits to the people of both countries.
Xi urged the two sides to make full use of the meeting of the China-Vietnam steering committee on cooperation, push forward cooperation within the framework of China’s Belt and Road Initiative and Vietnam’s “Two Corridors and One Economic Circle” plan to cooperate more in industrial capacity, infrastructure construction and cross-border economic cooperation zones.
Phuc told Xi that as friendly neighbors linked by mountains and rivers, it is in accordance with their fundamental and long-term interests for China and Vietnam to develop a bilateral friendship.
