AKP Phnom Penh, September 01, 2025 —

Chinese media outlets such as the Xinhua News Agency, China Central Television (CCTV), People’s Daily, and Global Times have covered the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, which took place within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit 2025 in Tianjin on August 31.

They reported that at the meeting, President Xi noted during his state visit to Vietnam in April, the two sides had reached important common perceptions on advancing the building of a China – Vietnam community with a shared future in the new situation. He emphasised the need for their ministries, sectors, and localities to step up implementation and promote the China – Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership to yield more substantive results.

On this occasion, the top Chinese leader extended congratulations on the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and affirmed that China supports Vietnam in successfully organising the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam. He also expressed his wish to increase sharing state governance experience, maintain high-level exchanges, and fostering strategic cooperation between the two countries.

The media also highlighted President Xi’s proposals of promoting collaboration in areas such as connectivity, digital economy, artificial intelligence (AI), and experience-sharing in building free trade zones and special economic zones, thereby contributing to modernisation in each country.

He added that the two sides should continue to successfully organise activities marking the 75th anniversary of China – Vietnam diplomatic relations and the “Red Journey” study and exchange programme in China for Vietnamese youth, as well as initiate more public-oriented projects, the press outlets reported.
