Reviewing the development of the Vietnam-China relationship over the past century, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan affirmed that the relationship between the two countries has gone through many challenges in history and is a priceless common asset that each of us needs to be responsible for preserving and promoting in the new context. The leaders of the two parties and two countries have determined to develop the relationship between the two countries according to the motto "Friendly neighbors - Comprehensive cooperation - Long-term stability - Towards the future" and in the spirit of "Good neighbors - Good friends - Good comrades - Good partners". "Strategic and comprehensive partnership" is a long-term policy and top priority in Vietnam's foreign policy towards China.
Since 1992, the relationship between the two countries in the field of education and training has been increasingly developed. Currently, there are more than 13,000 Vietnamese students studying at nearly 100 Chinese universities and 3,000 Chinese students studying in Vietnam.

Speaking about the role of the younger generation, the Chinese Prime Minister emphasized: “The future of Vietnam-China friendship lies in the students, in the younger generation of the two countries”. It is the young people who will inherit, maintain and promote the good cooperative relationship, passing it on from generation to generation. To fulfill this responsibility, young people need to know how to cherish time to constantly strive to study, practice and strive to become contributors to the cause of national construction and promote friendly cooperation between the two nations. Prime Minister Li Keqiang said that he hopes that in the future, there will be more opportunities for young people of the two countries to interact, exchange information and learn about each other.
