Cai Qi, a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC), met with Tran Cam Tu, member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC) and permanent member of the Secretariat of the CPVCC in Hanoi on Monday.
Cai, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized efforts to promote the building of the China-Vietnam community with a shared future with high level, quality and standards.
He called for a higher level of political mutual trust between the two sides, jointly safeguarding security and development interests, advancing pragmatic cooperation and accelerating a new model of cooperation in industrial and supply chains.
Facing the changing and turbulent international situation, China and Vietnam should strengthen bilateral and multilateral strategic coordination, cope with division and decoupling with unity and cooperation, and jointly oppose unilateralism and protectionism, he stressed.
Tran Cam Tu said developing a long-term and lasting comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership with China, continuously consolidating political mutual trust and expanding practical cooperation are the objective needs, strategic choices and top priorities of Vietnam's foreign policy.
Vietnam is willing to work with China to strengthen mutual learning on theories and practices of party and state governance, consolidate the social foundation of friendship and deepen cooperation in international and regional affairs, he said.

More than 200 hospitality practitioners, representatives from cultural and tourism departments, and tea culture experts and scholars from both the mainland and Taiwan gathered in Wuyishan, Fujian Province, recently to explore new opportunities for developing tea-themed accommodations.
On April 17, the first national tea-themed accommodation development conference, themed "Stay in Wuyi, tea in China," was held in Wuyishan City, along with cross-Strait exchange activities focused on tea-themed accommodations in Fujian.
As Wuyishan is known as the birthplace of oolong and black tea, local authorities are integrating tea culture into rural development.
"First, we focus on cultural empowerment by incorporating intangible cultural heritage, such as Wuyi tea ceremonies and tea arts, into the accommodation experience. Second, we enhance industry collaboration to achieve an integrated development of accommodation, tea garden and creative industry. Third, we emphasize ecological features to promote a green and low-carbon tea tourism lifestyle," said Gan Shudan, head of the homestay branch of the Nanping City Tourism Association.
During the conference, a report on national tea accommodation industry development was released, which highlights the current status and future trends of the tea accommodation industry.
The first 17 certified Wuyi tea accommodation brands and the cross-Strait tea accommodation brands were announced at the event, aiming to promote cooperative development of the tea accommodation industry across the Strait.
"It's not a complete revolution, instead, it's an innovative leap built on the existing development of the homestay business. We want to present a fresh new concept of homestay, including its essence and scope," said Ning Jun, head of the homestay branch of the Fujian Provincial Tourism Association.
