The traditional friendly neighborly relationship of “being both comrades and brothers” was established by President Ho Chi Minh andChairman Mao ZedongThe friendship that was built and cultivated by previous leaders is a priceless asset and has been inherited, built and developed by generations of the people of the two countries. Although the Vietnam - China relationship has gone through many challenges of time, friendship and cooperation are still the main stream. The friendship that was built and cultivated by generations of leaders of the two countries has become a valuable common asset of the two peoples, contributing to maintaining the trend of stable development of the traditional friendship between Vietnam and China, bringing practical benefits to the people of the two countries.
