Li Peng, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), met here Monday with Nguyen Van An, chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam, and his party.

Li extended a warm welcome to Nguyen Van An and his delegation, who will attend the upcoming annual meeting of the Association of Asian Parliaments for Peace (AAPP).

Li said that frequent high-profile visits between the two countries have enhanced friendship among the two peoples and pushed forward good-neighborly relations.

He said that under the guiding principle set by the two countries' leaders in 1999, China and Vietnam can smoothly develop good relations between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV).

During his last visit to Vietnam, President Jiang Zemin, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, exchanged views on bilateral relations and international issues with Vietnamese leaders, Li said.

In recent years, the two countries have made great progress in trade and economic cooperation. Meanwhile, they coordinated with each other in regional and international issues, Li said.

In addition, the NPC attaches great importance to cooperation and exchange with Vietnam's National Assembly, Li said, adding that the close relationship between the two sides is an important bridge between the two peoples.

Nguyen Van An said he is happy to lead the delegation and attend the AAPP annual meeting.

He said his delegation cherishes the chance to observe the great achievements scored by the Chinese people in the past two decades.

In a drive to greatly enhance its economy, Vietnam adopts the policy of reform and opening-up, which has proved a wise one, he said.

He expressed the hope that the upcoming AAPP annual meeting will be a complete success.
