BEIJING — Việt Nam and China have reached a consensus on further promoting their comprehensive strategic co-operative partnership. PM Phúc asserted that Việt Nam consistently pursues a foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, co-operation and development, diversification and multilateralisation of relations. It should continue importing goods that Việt Nam has advantages in, especially agro-forestry-fishery products, and soon license Việt Nam’s export of its meat, dairy and processed juice products to China. He asked China to increase investment in Việt Nam, particularly in hi-tech agriculture, machinery production, support industries, and renewable energy. He confirmed China attaches much importance to developing rapport with Việt Nam and persistently follows the motto of friendly neighbourliness and comprehensive cooperation with a long-term stability with Việt Nam.
