The visit from April 14-17 is made at the invitation of General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and President of China Xi Jinping and his spouse. This is the first state visit to China by General Secretary and President To Lam in his capacity as the Party and State’s top leader. It comes one year after General Secretary and President Xi’s state visit to Vietnam in April 2025 and represents the third bilateral visit between the two countries’ top leaders in less than two years.
The trip is an opportunity for the top leaders of the two Parties and two countries to exchange views and agree on major development orientations, deepen the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, and build a Vietnam-China community with a shared future, which has strategic significance in the new period.
“The State visit to China by General Secretary and President To Lam and the high-level Vietnamese delegation marks a new beginning in bilateral cooperation between the two countries. Taking place one year after the State visit to Vietnam by General Secretary and President Xi Jinping, it demonstrates the mutual respect, comprehensive and close ties of interests between Vietnam and China, as well as the shared commitment to a peaceful and stable environment and creating favorable conditions for the development of the two neighboring countries,” said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Vu.
