Xi Jinping's Visit to Vietnam: Strengthening China-Vietnam Relations
Chinese leader Xi Jinping visited Vietnam to strengthen ties with the Southeast Asian country, following Vietnam's recent elevation of diplomatic relations with the United States and Japan. During the visit, Xi announced the intention to create a "China-Vietnam community with a shared future of strategic significance." Vietnam, which has designated the US and Japan as "comprehensive strategic partners," sought to reassure Beijing of its continued importance as an ally. The visit comes as Vietnam aims to diversify its partnerships and reduce reliance on China. Vietnam is likely to sign infrastructure agreements with China, and the two countries have a significant trade relationship, with China being Vietnam's largest trading partner.
