Ambassador He once again extended his deep sympathies to the Vietnamese side and expressed his hope that the affected communities would overcome the difficulties at an early date. He noted that the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had made strategic arrangements to expand high-level opening up, which would provide new opportunities and inject fresh momentum into the high-level advancement of the China–Vietnam community with a shared future.
