Si Jinping stated the necessity to strengthen cooperation in emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and the Internet of Things, adding that the Chinese side welcomes a large number of high-quality Vietnamese goods into the Chinese market.
According to Si Jinzhipin, the sides should strengthen friendly exchanges and cooperation in such areas as tourism, culture, mass media, education, healthcare, and sports.

The Chinese side is ready to strengthen coordination and cooperation with the countries of the region to promote the building of an even closer community with a shared future for China and ASEAN, Xi Jinping added.
To Lam, in turn, assured that Vietnam will consistently regard the development of relations with China as an objective necessity, a strategic choice, and a top priority, while continuing to firmly support the one-China policy.
