“3 guarantees” include ensuring that the foreign-invested economic sector is an important component of Vietnam's economy; ensuring the legitimate and legal rights and interests of investors; and ensuring political stability, social order and safety; policy stability, constantly improving the business investment environment so that investors can feel secure in doing long-term business in Vietnam.

"3 clearances" include clear, smooth infrastructure; clear mechanism; and smart administration.

"3 togethers" include mutual listening and understanding between businesses, the State and the people; sharing vision and action to cooperate and support each other for rapid and sustainable development; and working together, winning together, developing together, and sharing joy, happiness and pride.

Premier Li highlighted three key points of continuing to connect the two countries' development strategies. Currently the two countries are working to integrate China's "Belt and Road" initiative with Vietnam's "Two Corridors, One Belt" framework; actively connecting transport infrastructure of roads, railways, border gates, ports, and airways; promoting travel and people-to-people exchanges, and industrial policy coordination.

He also stated three wishes of continuously paying attention to major policies, being more proactive in integrating national development and strategic connections; making good use of bilateral and multilateral agreements, mobilizing resources; and promoting the harmonious development of industrial sectors based on the characteristics of each enterprise, and search for cooperation partners in the value chain. China encourages Chinese businesses to connect with Vietnamese businesses, he said.
