Deepening cooperation between Vietnamese localities and Guangxi (China)

On July 16, President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations Phan Anh Son received a delegation led by Mr. Wei Ran, Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs and President of the People's Association for Foreign Friendship of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The two sides affirmed their strong commitment to strengthening and further developing the sister city relations between cities and localities of Vietnam and China.

Speaking at the reception, Mr. Wei Ran emphasized Guangxi's pioneering role in exchange activities with Vietnam. He said that Guangxi has now established friendly relations with 23 provinces, cities and districts of Vietnam, accounting for nearly 1/3 of the total 65 pairs of twinned localities between the two countries, ranking first among Chinese localities.

In the context of Vietnam's restructuring and reorganization of administrative units at all levels, Mr. Nguyen Nhien expressed his hope that both sides would find suitable solutions so that the cooperative relationship would not be interrupted and would continue to develop more strongly.

Appreciating Guangxi's goodwill for cooperation, Chairman of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations Phan Anh Son affirmed that the arrangement and reorganization of administrative units at all levels of Vietnam will open a new, more comprehensive development phase and create opportunities to elevate twinning relations.

Mr. Phan Anh Son proposed to strengthen flexible coordination through direct exchanges between localities, through the bridging role of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations or through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs . The two sides agreed that maintaining and deepening the pairs of twinned localities will continue to be a solid foundation, contributing to the comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Guangxi in particular, Vietnam and China in general, to develop more deeply, substantially and effectively.
