On April 14, 2022, State Councilor and foreign minister Wang Yi had a telephone conversation with Vietnamese foreign minister Pei Qingshan. Wang Yi said that in the face of the intertwined superposition of century changes, century epidemic and Ukrainian crisis, as close neighbors following the socialist road, China and Vietnam should give full play to the political advantages of the two parties and two countries and carry forward the friendly tradition of "comrades and brothers". We should not only do our own affairs well and maintain the momentum of development and revitalization, but also strengthen strategic communication and make new contributions to maintaining regional peace and stability. China is willing to continue to provide Vietnam with anti epidemic support such as new coronavirus vaccine, anti epidemic materials and special drugs, and promote the implementation of people's livelihood assistance to Vietnam as soon as possible. We should strengthen joint prevention and control at the border and jointly ensure the epidemic prevention safety of personnel at border ports and goods exported to China. It is hoped that the two sides will open more cross-border railway trains, deepen the connection with the new land and sea channel in the west, and lay a more smooth "green channel" for Vietnam's high-quality agricultural products to China. Wang Yi expressed that the current situation in the South China Sea remains generally stable with the joint efforts of China and ASEAN countries. It is precisely some extraterritorial forces with ulterior motives that fear that the South China Sea will not be chaotic. It is in the common interests of China and Vietnam to continue to maintain peace in the South China Sea. We should give full play to the role of the three working groups on land border negotiations and maritime affairs, promote substantial progress in the delimitation outside the mouth of the Beibu Gulf and the joint development of the South China Sea, and avoid unilateral actions that complicate the situation. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration on the conduct of parties in the South China Sea. We should take this opportunity to reach an early agreement on the "code of conduct in the South China Sea" and provide a more solid guarantee for the long-term stability of the South China Sea. Greece and Vietnam should play an active and constructive role in this regard. Pei Qingshan congratulated China on successfully hosting the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and wished the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China a complete success. He said that Vietnam has always regarded relations with China as the top priority of its foreign policy and is willing to strengthen strategic communication with China, consolidate political mutual trust, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation and promote the continuous development of Vietnam China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. Vietnam appreciates China's strong support for Vietnam's fight against the epidemic, understands and respects China's epidemic prevention policy, and hopes to continue to take flexible and effective measures to ensure the safety of epidemic prevention and the smoothness of ports between the two countries. Against the background of the complex evolution of the international and regional situation, Vietnam is willing to work with China to implement the Declaration on the conduct of parties in the South China Sea, reach a substantive and effective "code of conduct in the South China Sea" at an early date and maintain peace and stability in the South China sea. Greece and the two sides have made substantive progress in the consultations of the three maritime working groups, giving priority to the delimitation outside the mouth of the Beibu Gulf. The two sides exchanged views on the Ukrainian issue. Wang Yi said that the Ukrainian issue has once again made Asian countries realize that maintaining peace and stability is precious, and indulging in group confrontation will bring endless trouble. By pushing the "Indo Pacific strategy", the United States attempts to create regional tension and provoke confrontation, which will seriously damage the hard won situation of peaceful development in the region and seriously erode the regional cooperation framework centered on ASEAN. We cannot allow the Cold War mentality to return in the region and the tragedy of Ukraine to repeat itself around us. Both China and Vietnam are socialist countries. China is willing to strengthen unity and cooperation with Vietnam, resist external risks, deal with the spillover impact of the Ukrainian crisis on the region, and play a positive role in maintaining regional peace and stability. Pei Qingshan said that Vietnam welcomes China's contribution to promoting peace and talks, ending conflicts and preventing humanitarian crises. Vietnam maintains that it should abide by the Charter of the United Nations and international law and find a long-term solution to differences on the basis of respecting the legitimate rights and interests of all parties. Vietnam's position has many similarities with China, and hopes to continue to maintain communication with China on the Ukrainian issue. (Xinhua News Agency)
