China treasures Sino-Vietnamese traditional friendship, and attaches great importance to its good-neighborliness and overall cooperation with Vietnam, Chinese Vice-Premier Li Lanqing says.

He said China would work with Vietnam to further their cooperation.

Li, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remarks in Beijing on Monday at a meeting with Nguyen Van An, chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam, who is here to attend the third annual conference of the Association of Asian Parliaments for Peace (AAPP), and his party.

Li noted that Sino-Vietnamese relations have developed well in recent years under the guidance of the principles mapped out by the heads of the two communist parties.

Leaders of the two countries have maintained constant contact, and exchanges and cooperation between the two parliaments in various fields have been strengthened with each passing day, added Li.

Praising Vietnam's achievements in its reforms and drive for progress, Li said he was convinced that under the new leadership of the Vietnamese Communist Party Central Committee, the Vietnamese people are bound to turn Vietnam into a socialist industrialized country with prosperity, social justice and democracy.

On his first visit to China since he took office as chairman of the Vietnamese National Assembly, Nguyen congratulated China on its great achievements.

He pledged that it was the firm strategic principle of the Vietnamese party and government to develop Vietnam-China traditional friendship and cooperation.

The Vietnamese side, along with the Chinese side, would continue to push bilateral friendship to a new high, noted Nguyen, adding that the Vietnamese National Assembly would make positive

efforts and contributions to this end.
