BEIJING, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message on Tuesday to Luong Cuong on his assuming office as Vietnamese president.

Mentioning Cuong's recent visit to China, Xi said that he and Cuong exchanged views on advancing China-Vietnam comprehensive strategic cooperation and agreed to approach China-Vietnam relations from a strategic perspective and give full play to the guiding role of leaders, so as to ensure that bilateral relations advance on the right track.

Xi said the two sides should jointly implement the high-level consensus of the two parties and two countries and push for more practical results in the China-Vietnam comprehensive strategic cooperation to boost the modernization processes of the two countries.

China firmly supports Vietnam in pursuing a socialist path in line with its national conditions and in preparing for the 14th National Congress of the CPV, he added.

Xi said he attaches great importance to developing China-Vietnam relations, and is ready to work with Cuong to guide and deepen the building of the China-Vietnam community with a shared future and bring more benefits to the two peoples.
