In a significant diplomatic gesture, China’s top political advisor Wang Huning will travel to Hanoi this week as General Secretary Xi Jinping’s special representative to pay respects following the death of Nguyen Phu Trong, Vietnam’s longtime Communist Party leader.
Wang Huning, a key member of the CPC Central Committee’s leadership, will lead a high-level delegation to mourning ceremonies from July 25-26. The move underscores the ‘comrade-plus-neighbor’ relationship 🤝 between the two socialist nations, according to CPC spokesperson Hu Zhaoming.
Nguyen Phu Trong, who served as General Secretary of Vietnam’s Communist Party for over a decade, was known for strengthening economic ties with China. His passing at age 79 has drawn condolences worldwide 🌐.
