China on Wednesday pledges to further enhance archives exchanges
and cooperation with Vietnam.
Wang Gang, alternative member of the Political Bureau of the
Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the pledge
in a meeting with a delegation from the State Archives Bureau of
Vietnam.
Regarding China and Vietnam as close neighbors with interrelated
benefits, Wang said cementing and developing China-Vietnam
friendship and cooperation meets the fundamental interests of the
two sides.
The work of archives is an important job to record history,
carry on civilization, serve society and benefit the humankind,
Wang said.
"It also plays an increasingly important role in the
construction of the country," he added.
Wang, also member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central
Committee and director of General Office of CPC Central Committee,
said the two countries have respective characteristics and
experience in their work of archives, calling on the two sides to
learn from each other.
He hopes relevant departments of the two sides enhance archives
exchanges and cooperation, so as to improve the level of the work
of archives of both countries.
