The first time in life always has a special meaning. The first time for a politician, sometimes conveys a rich message.
After the world-renowned Twenty National Congress, China's diplomacy quickly entered a new situation. On the afternoon of October 30, a general secretary of a neighboring country flew to Beijing to read news reports. Liu Jianchao, Minister of the Lianhe Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, personally went to the airport to greet him.
Behind the extraordinary etiquette is an extraordinary leader’s visit. he is , , general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam , Nguyen Phu Tung .
Obviously, this is not an ordinary visit. The biggest unusual thing is these three firsts, or in other words, three unusual.
1, Nguyen Phu Trong is the first foreign leader we received after the 20th National Congress.
2, this is also the first time that Nguyen Phu Trong has been re-elected after re-elected from the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
3, this is the first time we have received foreign leaders with the etiquette of "official visit" in the past three years of the epidemic.
If you are familiar with Chinese diplomacy, you will find that in the past three years, most of the foreign leaders visited have "work visits", but the "official visits" are obviously different, which means a complete set of diplomatic etiquette. Why is
Nguyen Phu Trong?
I think it should be viewed in the context of the major changes in the world that have not been seen in a century. Behind the three unusual ones are these three special backgrounds.
The first background.
Needless to say, what the relevant experts said to me is: This is not only the first foreign leader received by China after the 20th National Congress, but also the first time our General Secretary has introduced the relevant situation of the 20th National Congress to foreign leaders in person.
Don’t forget that China and Vietnam are the two largest socialist countries in the world . The first time like
is undoubtedly China's signal to Vietnam.
China-Vietnam relationship is not ordinary.
should be seen that if the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam visited for the first time, he usually chose Laos , but Nguyen Phu Tung has not gone abroad in the past two years. It is definitely not a whim to choose China after being re-elected. It is also a strong signal to China.
Vietnam-China relationship is very unusual.
second background.
China-Vietnam relations are getting better and better, and the relationship is still heating up.
We don’t need to avoid it. In the past few decades, China-Vietnam relations have experienced ups and downs. But at least in recent years, with the joint efforts of the top leaders of China and Vietnam, especially the close interaction between the two general secretaries, has put the relationship between the two countries on the right track.
I remember that in 2017, our General Secretary visited Vietnam. The two had breakfast diplomacy + walk diplomacy + tea and Syrian diplomacy. Many details were particularly touching. In particular, the General Secretary talked about the older generation of leaders of China and Vietnam who were dedicated to the public and dedicated to the people, and said with emotion: Anyone who does good things for the people will definitely leave good stories in history.
is off topic. China-Vietnam relations are becoming closer and closer, in terms of the economy. China is now Vietnam's largest trading partner, while Vietnam is China's eighth largest trading partner. If the scope is limited to , ASEAN , Vietnam is China's largest trading partner in ASEAN.
The recent development of Vietnam is indeed impressive. In the first three quarters, Vietnam's GDP grew by 8.83%, and in the third quarter it reached 13.7%. Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economy in the world, and it is also inseparable from strong cooperation with China.
It must be pointed out that an important reason for the turnaround in China-Vietnam relations is that inter-party exchanges have played a special leading role. After all, both countries are in power. Close inter-party exchanges have promoted the progress of bilateral relations, so this time Liu Jianchao also went to the airport to greet him.
The third background.
The United States' provocation. We don’t need to avoid it. In recent years, the United States has stepped up various work on Vietnam.
According to the United States, an important breakthrough for the United States to reshape China's surrounding environment is Vietnam. Therefore, the United States has really done a lot of things recently, hype various events and provoking disagreement between China and Vietnam. What to do with
?
China sees it, and Vietnam also sees it.
We must see that Vietnam is an independent country with its own national interests. There are indeed different voices within Vietnam in some matters towards China.
But we must see more, Vietnam is also very clear about how important it is to strengthen cooperation between two countries led by the Communist Party in the current international environment.
So, in the words of a friend, although Vietnam has made a clear statement that it will not take sides, Vietnam adheres to socialism and firmly opposes the color revolution, and Vietnam’s position is actually clear.
So, this time Nguyen Phu Trong's visit was a natural thing.
last, what do you think?
is three simple points.
First, the Sino-Vietnam relationship is indeed very special.
Otherwise, we won’t end our 20th anniversary, and Nguyen Phu Tung will come to China soon.
Of course, so many foreign leaders visited, but the invitation to Nguyen Phu Trong was the first to come, which also shows our attitude. I guess there will definitely be many surprises and special arrangements for this visit, which are worth looking forward to.
China and Vietnam, as the two largest socialist countries in the world, should indeed cooperate more and unite more to achieve the true "four good": Good neighbors, good friends, good comrades, and good partners!
This is a good thing for China; isn’t it a blessing for Vietnam?
Second, respect Vietnam, don’t “the more you brag”, don’t “the darker”.
I know that because there are so many things in the past, some friends mentioned Vietnam, and there was a bit of complex feelings. There are also many "motivation" on the Internet, how good Vietnam's development is; there are also some "darker" and how good Vietnam's development is.
is overstated and it is definitely untrue. My opinion is that we have to respect Vietnam, which is a very important neighbor and, frankly, one of our greatest potential neighbors. The diligence of Vietnamese people and the same social system as ours, Vietnam's future is limitless.
But we must see that Vietnam’s foundation is still very thin and does not have as perfect industrial chain as China. Vietnam still has a long way to go. Therefore, Vietnam does have great expectations for strengthening cooperation with China.
Of course, for China, Vietnam not only has a large market of 100 million people, but also an important part of China's surrounding diplomacy. China and Vietnam are really a brotherly country, and brothers are united and their profits are cut off. Otherwise, it will be a loss.
Third, China's autumn diplomacy kicked off.
It is late autumn now, with red leaves in the north in full swing, and China's autumn diplomacy has begun. According to the current itinerary, Nguyen Phu Trong is the first to visit China. Subsequently, foreign leaders such as Pakistani Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif, Tanzanian President Hassan, German Prime Minister Scholz will all visit one after another.
Please note that it is not a work visit, it is a formal visit or a state visit.
We used to describe a prosperous era, which often contained six words: those who are close are happy, and those who are far away come. After the 20th National Congress, many foreign leaders came to visit immediately, which at least shows that our friends are everywhere.
Is it a pity that there are friends coming from afar. China's diplomacy is indeed very good. It is definitely the most in line with China's national interests to make many friends in and to make few enemies.
drama must start with the prologue, but the prologue is not the climax.
