He urged the two sides’ localities to strengthen friendship, continue exchanges and contacts between leaders at all levels, and enhance people-to-people exchanges to effectively contribute to the Viet Nam-China Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership.
PM Phuc also asked the two sides to ensure social order and security in the areas along their shared border while fruitfully implementing the two countries’ agreement on protecting and tapping tourism resources at Ban Gioc waterfall and another on free navigation of boats at the mouth of the Bac Luan river.
