The top Chinese leader is paying a state visit to Vietnam from April 14-15 at the invitation of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee To Lam and State President Luong Cuong.

General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and President of China Xi Jinping lays a wreath at Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Hanoi, April 15, 2025.

Also joining the event were Vietnam's Party General Secretary To Lam; Politburo member and Permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Tran Cam Tu; Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Chief of the Party Central Committee’s Office Le Hoai Trung; and member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son.

Xi and the high-ranking delegation of the Chinese Party and State laid wreaths and paid respects to President Ho Chi Minh, a national liberation hero, an outstanding man of culture, a genius leader of the Party and people of Vietnam, a steadfast revolutionary soldier and a close friend of the peoples of the world.

Vietnam and China are close neighbours, connected by mountains and rivers, and their people share long-standing friendship.

Since the two sides established the framework for a Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership in 2008, and especially after mutual visits by the top leaders of the two Parties and countries in recent years, bilateral relations have developed across many fields.

This is Xi's fourth visit to Vietnam in his capacity as the top leader of the Chinese Party and State and his second during the 13th-term National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the 20th-term National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
