Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), sent a congratulatory message to Nguyen Phu Trong on Thursday on his re-election as Vietnam's communist party chief.

Congratulating Trong on behalf of the CPC Central Committee and in his own name, Xi said Vietnam has scored remarkable achievements since the start of the century in its socialist construction and innovation. The country has enjoyed political stability and rapid economic growth while people's living conditions are improving, Xi said.

Xi also expressed his belief that under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), Vietnam will make greater headway in its cause of socialist construction and innovation.

Xi stressed that China and Vietnam, which are friendly neighbors linked by mountains and rivers, share the same political system and similar development path and have their destinies increasingly intertwined, are a community of common destiny of great strategic significance.

China highly values its relations with Vietnam and adheres to guidelines of long-term stability, looking into the future, good-neighborly friendship and comprehensive cooperation as well as the spirit of good neighbors, good friends, good comrades and good partners, Xi added.

He also said China is willing to work with Vietnam to advance their comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership in a sustained, healthy and steady way, making more contributions to peace, cooperation, development and prosperity in Asia and the world as a whole.
