Vietnam, China enjoy developing relationship
Hanoi (VNA) - Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung will pay an official visit to
China from October 20-23 at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart, Wen
Jiabao. The visit, the first made by Dung in his capacity as prime
minister to China , aims to consolidate mutual trust between the two
countries' high-ranking leaders and concretise the strategic partnership and
comprehensive cooperation between the two parties and two states, focusing
on enhancing economic-trade, investment and tourism cooperation and
establishing dialogue mechanisms in major aspects.
The Vietnam-China relationship has seen important developments.

the two sides agreed to develop the comprehensive strategic partnership of
cooperation under the motto of "friendly neighbourliness, comprehensive
cooperation, long-lasting stability and looking towards the future" and in
the spirit of "good neighbours, good friends, good comrades and good

two-way trade exceeding 16 billion USD in 2007. The figure is expected to
reach 21 billion USD this year.

with total capital of 2 billion USD, ranking 12 th among 82 countries and
territories investing in the country. The Chinese projects are mainly in

fisheries, science and technology, transport and healthcare, particularly
projects in the framework of Vietnam-China's "two corridors and one economic
belt" agreement.
