BEIJING, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) - China's top political advisor Yu Zhengsheng met here on Thursday with Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Tran Thanh Man.
Yu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said the relations between the two countries and the two parties have witnessed a good beginning since the convening of the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) early this year.
He recalled the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang on the sidelines of the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Lima, capital of Peru last month.
Chinese party and government attach great importance to relations with Vietnam, he said, calling on the two sides to advance their ties in the future.
The CPPCC is ready to enhance friendly exchanges with the VFF to jointly serve the common development of the two nations, said Yu.
Man said the traditional friendship initiated and fostered by the older generation of leaders of the two countries is a great treasure for the two parties and the two peoples.
Vietnam is willing to carry forward the traditional friendship and work with China to advance the comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation between the two sides, said Man.
Man is on a working visit to China from December 19 to 23.
