China has congratulated Luong Cuong on his election victory as President of Vietnam, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Mr Cuong, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and permanent member of the CPV Central Committee Secretariat, was elected as Vietnam’s president on Monday, Vietnam News Agency reported.

In response to a related query, spokesperson Lin Jian told a press briefing that it was believed that under the leadership of the CPV Central Committee, Vietnamese would achieve new and greater accomplishments in socialist modernisation.

Mr Jian noted that China and Vietnam are a community of shared future with strategic significance, adding that next year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam.

It is the China-Vietnam Year of People-to-People Exchanges.

He said that the development of bilateral relations is facing new historical opportunities.

China is willing to work with Vietnam to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two parties, two countries and promote traditional friendship.

It would also deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, promote the construction of the China-Vietnam community with a shared future, and bring more benefits to the two peoples, Jian said.
