Faced with the severe damage caused by floods to the people of the Central and Central Highlands provinces, the Chinese Government has sent aid worth 500,000 USD through the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam to support overcoming the consequences of natural disasters and floods in Vietnam. Expressing his emotion when seeing the image of General Secretary To Lam , along with leaders of the Party, State and Vietnam Fatherland Front directly coming to share with the people in the flood-affected areas, Ambassador Ha Vi affirmed: This amount of money, although not large, shows the sentiments of the Chinese people to the Vietnamese people, with the desire to contribute to "sharing the sweet and the bitter", helping the Vietnamese people overcome the difficulties of storms and floods.

Sharing about bilateral activities between the two countries, Ambassador Ha Vi mentioned the historic visit of General Secretary and President Xi Jinping in April 2025 and affirmed that the visit further strengthened the friendship between the two Parties and two States.

Recently, many Chinese enterprises have come to Vietnam to seek investment cooperation opportunities, focusing on the field of high technology science - this is becoming a trend. Many large-scale cooperation projects between the two countries are being implemented sustainably, such as: Hanoi - Lao Cai - Hai Phong railway; Vietnam - China Friendship Palace project... are continuing to be repaired; cultural exchange activities between the two countries are being actively implemented..., typically the implementation of the "Red Journey of Research and Study of Youth" in China with the participation of 1,000 Vietnamese delegates who are young cadres, young artists, young workers and typical rural youth. This is an important foreign affairs activity, contributing to enhancing understanding, fostering ideals and strengthening friendship between the youth of Vietnam and China.

Mr. Ha Vi believes that in the coming time, continuing to expand the development of high technology and new materials will be the premise for cooperation between China and Vietnam.

Within the framework of cooperation between the two countries, with the important role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Ambassador Ha Vi hopes that Chairwoman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Bui Thi Minh Hoai will continue to closely coordinate with the Embassy and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to strengthen the relationship between the two countries, especially in the field of humanistic exchange.

The Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, on behalf of the leaders of the Party, State and the Vietnam Fatherland Front, expressed his sincere thanks to the Party, State and people of China for their deep concern for the Vietnamese people in this difficult time due to the consequences of natural disasters and floods. The aid of 500,000 USD given by Ambassador Ha Vi is truly a very meaningful gift, not only an important material support to help Vietnam overcome difficulties and stabilize people's lives, but also a word of encouragement and sharing from the Party, State and people of China for the Vietnamese people. That is a manifestation of the solidarity and loyal friendship built by President Ho Chi Minh and Chairman Mao Zedong.

Congratulating China on its recent achievements, Chairwoman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Bui Thi Minh Hoai strongly believes that under the wise leadership of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, China will achieve even greater achievements, bringing prosperity and happiness to the people, contributing to the cause of building peace and sustainable development of the world. The two countries of Vietnam and China, with similarities in goals, paths and ideals, can completely complement and support each other for mutual development.

Providing information on the economic situation, the process of restructuring, streamlining the apparatus and operating the two-level local government model, as well as the preparation for the 14th National Party Congress with many innovations in Vietnam, Ms. Bui Thi Minh Hoai affirmed: The Party, State and people of Vietnam attach importance to developing friendly, cooperative and long-term stable relations with China as a consistent policy, an objective requirement, a strategic choice and a top priority in its foreign policy. In the overall Vietnam-China relationship, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference have had many years of sincere and effective cooperation. The two sides have maintained regular exchanges of high-level delegations and coordinated the organization of experience-sharing workshops and people-to-people exchange activities.

The friendly exchange not only actively contributes to concretizing and implementing the common perception between the high-ranking leaders of the two Parties and the two States; continues to deepen the comprehensive strategic cooperation relationship, promotes the building of a community of shared future between Vietnam and China with strategic significance, but also creates a forum to exchange experiences on great solidarity, mass mobilization work, supervision work, social criticism; participates in Party and government building; promotes people's mastery...

People's organizations that are members of the Vietnam Fatherland Front have also had many effective cooperation activities with Chinese people's organizations. Exchange programs between youth, students, and women of the two countries are regularly organized. The Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations also regularly coordinates with the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries to organize many meaningful activities, including 13 Vietnam - China People's Forums (from 2010 to present) and especially this year, for the first time, the Red Journey Program, study and research for youth of the two countries was organized under the initiative of General Secretary To Lam and General Secretary, President Xi Jinping, to educate the youth of the two countries about the tradition of Vietnam - China friendship.

In the coming time, Chairwoman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Bui Thi Minh Hoai hopes that the two sides will continue to promote humanitarian exchanges and support social organizations and mass organizations to increase exchanges and cooperation.
