On December 29, the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam held a briefing session on the guiding principles of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, along with a symposium reviewing and looking ahead to China–Vietnam relations in 2025. Ambassador He Wei attended the event and gave a joint interview to mainstream Chinese and Vietnamese media.

Ambassador He stated that the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee has charted a grand blueprint for China’s future development and sounded the clarion call for expanding high-level opening-up, which will surely bring new opportunities for countries around the world to pursue shared development. The four Global Initiatives, as public goods contributed by China to the international community, have established a clear framework for improving the global governance system and will also inject new momentum into the equal participation of Global South countries in international governance. Facing a complex international environment and arduous reform tasks, China and Vietnam should work hand in hand as companions in development and revitalization and as defenders of international fairness and justice, strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, enhance the quality and effectiveness of cooperation, deepen people-to-people connectivity, and continue to write a new chapter of mutual illumination and shared achievement on the path toward socialist modernization.

The symposium was conducted in a warm and lively atmosphere, with participants expressing their heartfelt wishes for the enduring and everlasting China–Vietnam friendship to be passed down from generation to generation.
