China and Vietnam share extensive common interests in terms of
developing economy and improving people's life, said top legislator
Wu Bangguo in Beijing Tuesday.
"China-Vietnam neighborly friendship has stood the test of time
and keeps making new progress," said Wu, chairman of the Standing
Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC).
The two countries have chosen the development path suited to
their own situations, uphold the leadership of the Communist Party
of China and follow the socialist system, said Wu while meeting
with vice-chairman Truong Quang Duoc of the National Assembly of
Vietnam.
Under new international and regional circumstances, to develop
China-Vietnam neighborly friendship complies with the interests of
both countries and peoples, and benefits peace and development in
the region and world, Wu added.
Truong Quang Duoc said Vietnam will learn from China's socialist
construction, hoping the two countries could cement exchanges to
promote economic and social development.
Truong Quang Duoc arrived here Monday on a seven-day official
goodwill visit to China at the invitation of the NPC Standing
Committee.
