In a gesture underscoring the strong ties between Asia’s communist giants, Chinese leader Xi Jinping congratulated To Lam on his election as General Secretary of Vietnam’s Communist Party (CPV) via a formal letter dispatched Friday from Beijing.
Xi commended the CPV’s unwavering commitment since the 13th National Congress to a socialist modernization model suited to Vietnam’s realities. This approach has fortified the party’s leadership, driving impressive progress in national renewal and socialist building, while boosting Vietnam’s international profile.
The triumph of the 14th National Congress, Xi observed, ushers in a transformative phase for Vietnam’s growth, offering momentum to the worldwide socialist cause.
Xi voiced optimism that To Lam’s leadership will rally Vietnam’s populace to achieve new heights in governance and party work, effectively implementing the congress’s ambitious agenda.
As socialist neighbors with historic friendship and a shared destiny, China and Vietnam enjoy a pivotal partnership. Xi reaffirmed Beijing’s commitment to deepening this relationship through enhanced strategic dialogue, mutual support in socialist paths, and collaborative construction of a closer community with a shared future for cooperation. Such advancements promise welfare for both populations and positive impacts on peace and prosperity across the region and beyond.
