Chinese Premier Li Qiang said on Sunday that China is ready to work with Vietnam to firmly advance the building of a China-Vietnam community with a shared future, jointly meet external challenges and better achieve common development.

While meeting with Tran Thanh Man, chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam, in Hanoi, Li said in recent years, China-Vietnam relations have maintained a momentum of sound and steady development, and the building of a China-Vietnam community with a shared future has been advancing in depth and for real.

Noting the accelerating changes unseen in a century, Li said that China is ready to work with Vietnam to follow the strategic consensus reached by the top leaders of the two parties and the two countries, carry forward the traditional friendship, consolidate political mutual trust, and strengthen solidarity and cooperation.

The Chinese side is willing to enhance exchanges and cooperation with Vietnam's legislative bodies, strengthen coordination and cooperation in multilateral fields, and provide solid support for promoting each other's socialist construction, Li said.

It is hoped that the legislatures of the two countries will strongly support practical cooperation in various fields, focus more on innovation, provide legal guarantees for China and Vietnam to strengthen cooperation in emerging industries such as digital economy, new energy and 5G, and jointly cultivate and strengthen new drivers of development, said Li.

At the same time, the two countries' legislatures will actively provide public guidance to enhance mutual understanding and goodwill between the two peoples, especially among the young people, and continue to consolidate the social foundation for bilateral cooperation, he added.

For his part, Tran Thanh Man congratulated China on its all-round development achievements in recent years, expressing his belief that under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, China will surely make new and great achievements on the path to modernization.

Vietnam has always regarded China as a priority and a strategic choice in its foreign relations, and will, in accordance with the important consensus reached by the top leaders of the two parties and countries, strengthen exchanges with the Chinese side at all levels and in all fields, deepen traditional friendship, consolidate political mutual trust, strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation in all fields, and constantly inject new impetus into bilateral relations, he said.

The Vietnamese National Assembly is willing to maintain close exchanges with the National People's Congress of China, strengthen the exchange of experience in the construction of socialist rule of law, and play a positive role in consolidating the people-to-people friendship between the two countries and promoting the building of a Vietnam-China community with a shared future with strategic significance, he said.

Li paid an official visit to Vietnam from Saturday to Monday. Vietnam is the second stop of his ongoing Asia tour. Prior to this, he visited Laos, where he attended a series of leaders' meetings on East Asia cooperation and paid an official visit to the country.

Macao has been emerging as a global hub for conventions and exhibitions in recent years by exploring the enormous opportunities in the sector, driving the region to advance its economic diversification and embrace a brighter future.

Macao has received many awards this year, such as the Best Convention City (Asia) and the Best BT-MICE City, showcasing the recognition for and influence of Macao's exhibition industry.

More than 1,000 electronic game enthusiasts from all over the world gathered recently in Macao to participate in a esports themed event.

Su Zhili, organizer of the event, said that Macao's rich experience in hosting large-scale events, coupled with its good infrastructure, has driven him to choose the region as an ideal destination to hold such an activity.

"Macao has held many similar large-scale events. It has rich experience, and the facilities at the venue are relatively mature, so we can start our work comfortably," said Su.

During the first three quarters of 2024, Macao held more than 1,000 conferences and exhibitions in total.

"We will invite more professional, special conferences to be held in Macao and also cultivate more exhibition brands with international influence in Macao, so as to promote Macao's exhibitions to be more market-oriented, professional, international, digital and greener from various aspects. This is our goal," said Elaine Wong, member of the Macao Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute.

In addition, multiple large exhibitions and conferences, such as the Macao International Trade and Investment fair, the Macao Franchise Expo, and the International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum, are held regularly in Macao.

With the introduction of a series of policies and measures to facilitate the exchanges between the mainland and Macao, as well as the construction and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, Macao's convention and exhibition industry will embrace more opportunities for development in the foreseeable future.

"We have such a good industrial base in the Greater Bay Area. The mode of 'Convention and Exhibition + Industry' not only integrates the industries of Macao, but also the industries of the Greater Bay Area. In addition, Macao actively integrates into the national development and plays a role in the Belt and Road. Why are we so confident in Macao's convention and exhibition sector? Because it is backed by the motherland, and the country gives Macao great support," said Alan Ho, chairman of the Macao Association of Convention, Exhibition and Tourism Sectors.
