HÀ NỘI — General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Chinese President Xi Jinping has sent congratulations to State President Tô Lâm on his election as General Secretary of the Communist Party of Việt Nam (CPV)’s Central Committee.

The message reads:

“I am very delighted to learn that you have been elected to the position of General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPV. On behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and in my name, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to you.

“Over the recent years, the CPV has thoroughly implemented the spirit of the 13th National Party Congress’s Resolution, focusing on promoting the Party building and reaping new achievements in boosting the construction of socialism and the renewal and open-door cause.

“We believe that, under the steadfast leadership of the CPV Central Committee, the entire Party and people of Việt Nam will successfully realise the objectives and tasks set forth by the CPV’s 13th National Congress, steadily promoting the preparations for the 14th National Congress, and continuously moving towards the “two 100-year goals” of the Party and the country’s founding.

“China and Việt Nam are socialist neighbours linked by mountains and rivers. Last December, I paid a state visit to Việt Nam, during which both sides announced the building of a China-Việt Nam Community with a shared future that carries strategic significance, opening a new journey and a new chapter in the relationship between the two Parties and the two countries. I am ready to join Comrade General Secretary Tô Lâm in leading the building of an increasingly substantial and in-depth China-Việt Nam Community with a shared future, jointly promoting traditional friendship, consolidating political trust, deepening strategic exchanges, boosting substantive cooperation, bringing more happiness to the peoples of the two countries, and actively contributing to the cause of peace and progress of the mankind.

“Wish you new achievements in your noble position”.— VNS
