China and Vietnam are connected by mountains and rivers, and their destiny is shared. In the 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, in the glorious years of striving for national independence and national liberation, the two sides have fought side by side and supported each other. "Vietnam-China has deep friendship, comrades and brothers" has become the most vivid portrayal of the relationship between the two parties and the two countries.
China and Vietnam have similar cultures and their people are in harmony. In recent years, the cultural exchanges between the two sides have been vivid and colorful, and the traditional friendship has become stronger over time.
The friendship between the country lies in the blind date of the people. In January 2025, General Secretary Xi Jinping and General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Su Lin jointly announced that the China-Vietnam Cultural Exchange Year was officially launched.
The Hanoi Light Rail Line 2 built by a Chinese company has alleviated local traffic congestion and has also become a new landmark for "check-in" in the city. As of March 25 this year, the route has sent more than 34 million passengers, and is increasingly popular among Hanoi citizens for its green and convenient and reasonable fare prices.
China and Vietnam are rushing in both directions and achieving each other, vivid practices and pragmatic results, bringing tangible benefits to the people of both countries.
In Hanoi, flower selling mobile stalls are spread all over the streets and alleys, many of which are imported from Yunnan, China. In recent years, China's flower e-commerce has risen rapidly, promoting the continuous development of China-Vietnam flower industry cooperation.
China is Vietnam's largest trading partner, and Vietnam is China's largest trading partner in ASEAN. As connectivity is further improved, trade and investment continue to expand, and the construction of a community with a shared future in China and Vietnam will continue to deepen and become more practical.
Drinking the same river, destiny is closely linked. Looking to the future, working together to build a strategically significant community of shared future between China and Vietnam will not only benefit the people of both countries, but also the entire Asia and the world.
