On the morning of April 15, the second day of his state visit to Vietnam, General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping devoted his first activity to commemorating President Ho Chi Minh - the great and outstanding leader of the Vietnamese people.

During their lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh and Chairman Mao Zedong of China were the ones who continuously and directly cultivated the "close Vietnam-China relationship, as both comrades and brothers".

To demonstrate the special and close relationship between the two countries, at around 10 a.m., General Secretary To Lam and General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping led a delegation to lay wreaths and visit President Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum. This was something that had never happened during Xi Jinping's previous visits to Vietnam in 2015, 2017 and 2023.

He is expected to meet with President Luong Cuong afterward.

The Chinese leader will also have other activities related to humanistic exchanges, which are both in line with the Vietnam-China Friendship Humanistic Exchange Year 2025 and reflect the increasingly close humanistic exchanges between the two countries and the increasingly close travel between the two peoples in recent years.

Regarding the visit, the April 15 issue of the Chinese People's Daily devoted the entire front page, page 5, most of page 2 and part of page 3 to reporting in detail on the activities within the framework of the visit to Vietnam by General Secretary and President Xi Jinping.

This is a special and rare thing for the world's largest-circulation newspaper, which serves as the mouthpiece of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Notably, page 5 of the April 15 issue of the People's Daily is a special page titled "Passing on the China-Vietnam friendship to future generations", with many stories about the friendship between the people of the two countries, human exchange events, and practical and effective cooperation projects between China and Vietnam.

Xinhua's website also fully reported on the activities within the framework of the visit, and at the same time exploited many stories about cooperation and exchange between the people of the two countries in the fields of music, culture - arts, education...

Especially, the special photo group titled "Recording the history of 75 years of China - Vietnam cultural exchange", with many valuable photos from the 50s of the last century to the present, recording the exchange, communication and cooperation activities between the people of the two countries...

Yesterday, April 14, was a busy day for the Chinese leader. After attending the solemn state welcome ceremony at the Presidential Palace, Xi Jinping and General Secretary To Lam held high-level talks, discussing in-depth directions to further develop the relationship in the future.

The Chinese leader also met with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man on the same day. 45 documents were signed and presented to General Secretary To Lam and General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping on the first day of the visit.
