The traditional friendly neighborly relationship, "both comrades and brothers," was established by President Ho Chi Minh and...Chairman Mao ZedongThe invaluable asset built and nurtured by our predecessors is the friendship between Vietnam and China, a close neighborly relationship that has been inherited and developed by generations of people from both countries. Although Vietnam-China relations have withstood the test of time, friendship and cooperation remain the main current. This friendship, cultivated by generations of leaders from both countries, has become a precious shared asset of the two nations, contributing to the stable development of the traditional friendship between Vietnam and China and bringing tangible benefits to the people of both countries.

This reaffirms the correct guiding principle established by the two Parties and two states in developing bilateral relations: "friendly neighborliness, comprehensive cooperation, long-term stability, and a future-oriented approach" (1999) and the spirit of "good neighbors, good friends, good comrades, and good partners" (2005).
