Speaking at the reception, Standing Vice Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong expressed his pleasure in welcoming the delegation from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region on their first visit to Hanoi and the Hanoi Party Committee. Sharing a general overview of the city's development, the Standing Vice Secretary affirmed that, as the capital city, Hanoi always prioritizes international exchange and integration, and that friendly cooperation with Chinese localities has been a focus, yielding practical and effective results.
According to Nguyen Van Phong, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee, Hanoi currently has cooperative relations with over 100 capitals and cities worldwide, including Beijing and Guangzhou (Guangdong Province) of China. He also affirmed that Hanoi always desires cooperation with Chinese localities in the fields of party building, political system building, economic development, promoting cultural exchange, and boosting tourism.
Assessing the significant potential for cooperation between Hanoi and Chinese localities and partners based on similarities in orientation and future development priorities, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee, Nguyen Van Phong, affirmed that the Hanoi government is always ready to promote cooperation with the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and will work together to gradually establish a long-term and sustainable relationship.
Highlighting Hanoi's tourism strengths, particularly its appeal to Chinese tourists, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee, Nguyen Van Phong, stated that the number of tourists from Xinjiang is still relatively small. However, he noted that recently, Hanoi residents have shown increasing interest in non-traditional tourist destinations in China, including Xinjiang, indicating significant potential for development. Nevertheless, despite strong economic cooperation between Hanoi and Chinese localities, trade with Xinjiang remains limited.
Hanoi Party Standing Committee Deputy Secretary Nguyen Van Phong also stated that cooperation in tourism is a suitable starting point for a long-term cooperative relationship between Hanoi and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Accordingly, Xinjiang is a vast and beautiful land with favorable natural conditions and a rich cultural tradition; Hanoi also has more than 1,300 traditional craft villages with many abundant products, providing a foundation for potential cooperation and exchange. Deputy Secretary Nguyen Van Phong affirmed that Hanoi welcomes businesses from Xinjiang to invest and the city will create conditions for representatives from Xinjiang to participate in investment promotion events in the capital.
Thanking the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi City Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong for his sharing, Comrade Truong Tru affirmed that the information shared during this meeting helped the delegation broaden their horizons and gain a deeper understanding of Hanoi.
Highly appreciating the Hanoi Party Committee's viewpoint on establishing cooperative relations with the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi Party Secretary Zhang Zhu also stated that the delegation this time is very diverse, coming from many different fields, aiming to seek practical cooperation opportunities and make positive contributions to the Hanoi-Xinjiang cooperation as well as Vietnam-China cooperation.
According to Urumqi Party Secretary Zhang Zhu, Xinjiang has great potential, being a vast region occupying more than one-sixth of China's total land area, with over 5,700km of border with surrounding countries, including numerous border crossings connecting extensively to West Asia. Currently, most goods produced in western China pass through Xinjiang, creating a strong economic and trade advantage for the region. Xinjiang is also a land rich in resources, with natural gas and coal accounting for a large proportion of China's total production. Xinjiang's electricity production is not only sufficient to meet local needs but also distributes to neighboring regions. Xinjiang's natural environment is also exceptionally beautiful, with a diverse ecosystem including mountains, plains, plateaus, and four distinct seasons.
On that basis, Urumqi Party Secretary Zhang Zhu expressed his agreement that there is still much potential for cooperation between the two sides, based on the ideal foundation of the excellent Vietnam-China relationship. He also suggested that efforts such as establishing direct flights should be considered to create a basis for promoting development and expanding investment in other areas. Urumqi Party Secretary Zhang Zhu affirmed that Xinjiang will actively and proactively promote more frequent exchanges with Hanoi in the future.
Expressing his appreciation and agreement with the views of Urumqi Party Secretary Zhang Zhu, Hanoi Party Standing Deputy Secretary Nguyen Van Phong wished the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (China) continued strong development and a stronger position in China's modern "Belt and Road" initiative.
The Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee also expressed confidence that cooperation between Xinjiang and Hanoi would not only remain a relationship between the two localities but would also inspire cooperation between Xinjiang and other localities in Vietnam as well as the entire Southeast Asian region.
