Chinese President Xi Jinping made an unprecedented visit to Vietnam’s embassy in Beijing this weekend, paying heartfelt tribute to late Communist Party of Vietnam leader Nguyen Phu Trong. The emotional gesture highlighted ‘deep camaraderie’ between two socialist powerhouses ✊.
Describing Trong as a ‘staunch Marxist’ and visionary, Xi revealed how their decade-long partnership paved the way for last year’s landmark agreement – a China-Vietnam community with shared strategic goals 🇨🇳🤝🇻🇳. ‘He was our compass in strengthening socialist causes,’ Xi told mourners.
Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Sao Mai called Xi’s visit ‘a testament to China’s unwavering support’ as Vietnam navigates post-Trong leadership. Both nations vow to double down on what Xi calls ‘socialism tailored to Vietnam’s soil’ – from economic reforms to global ideological partnerships 🌱.
With Vietnam pledging to prioritize China ties and Beijing backing Hanoi’s development path, this alliance shows socialist solidarity isn’t just history – it’s the future 🔮.
