“They agreed to continue to fully implement the joint vision on defence cooperation with focus on high-level meetings, maintain the defence strategic dialogue mechanism, bring into full play hotlines, maintain joint fishery patrols in the Gulf of Tonkin between naval forces and coastguards of the two countries, join hands in training, and work on possibility to cooperate in defence industry.
The two sides will also share experience in army building, particularly Party work and political affairs; step up affiliation in communications, helping Vietnamese and Chinese people understand more about the bilateral relations; thwart plots of hostile forces that aim to take advantage of limitations to undermine the relationship; and forge collaboration in UN peacekeeping operations.”
“Wei stressed that China backs and is willing to cooperate with Vietnam to help the country successfully assume the ASEAN Chair in 2020, and raise initiatives to promote the ASEAN-China relationship.”
