According to Professor Phan Kim Nga, senior researcher at the Institute of Marxism Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the fact that General Secretary To Lam had an important article published in the People's Daily has many meanings. First of all, this is the first time that both Vietnam and China have published important articles by the leaders of the two countries when visiting each other.

Second, this also demonstrates a new form of media cooperation between Vietnam and China, showing that the form of exchange and interaction between the two countries' press is also a form of cooperation during mutual visits by Party and State leaders, in order to publish such important articles.

Third, this shows the satisfaction of both sides with the current development of the bilateral relationship, and at the same time, the agreement on how the two sides will promote cooperation in many aspects in the future. Therefore, in general, from the article by General Secretary To Lam published in the People's Daily in China and the article by General Secretary Xi Jinping published in the People's Newspaper in Vietnam, the leaders of both countries are satisfied with the current development of the Vietnam-China relationship and are full of expectations for the future.

The two leaders hope to enhance mutual strategic trust and guide bilateral relations to continue to do better in guiding the development of the two countries, and at the same time make greater contributions to further promoting the building of a Vietnam-China community of shared future of strategic significance.

Fourth, General Secretary To Lam’s article introduced and explained Vietnam’s new era of development. This is very useful, helping Chinese theorists, people and readers better understand Vietnam’s development strategy, opening up opportunities for the two countries to cooperate more in the future.

Professor Phan Kim Nga said: “I think this is very useful for the Chinese people to understand the Vietnamese General Secretary, understand the development of Vietnam and understand the Vietnamese people. Hopefully in the future, the two sides will have many important articles like this and can exchange on the media to enhance mutual understanding, further improve the foundation of public opinion, and actively contribute to further promoting the development of the China-Vietnam Community of Shared Future.”

According to Professor, Dr. Thanh Han Binh, Director of the Institute of Regional and National Studies, Director of the Center for Vietnam Studies at Zhejiang University of Industry (China), in his article, General Secretary To Lam reviewed the 75-year history of bilateral relations with deep affection; emphasized that "peace, friendship and development cooperation have always been the main stream in the relationship between the two countries"; at the same time, presented the vision of a new era of development in bilateral relations, expressing the common aspiration of the people of the two countries to continuously promote the Vietnam - China relationship to a new height and achieve more important and comprehensive achievements in the fields of cooperation. Currently, the two countries are together building a community of shared future Vietnam - China of strategic significance.

In addition, General Secretary To Lam also made four proposals for the development of bilateral relations in the future. Chinese scholars expressed that these suggestions are very suitable to current reality. In an era of special complexity and many changes, Vietnam and China must jointly contribute to protecting regional and world peace, practicing multilateralism and globalization; acting together for the happiness of the people of the two countries and mutually beneficial cooperation, bringing bilateral relations firmly into a new era of development.
