Departing from Hanoi on Sunday, Mẫn’s trip underscores both nations’ commitment to strengthening political engagement and deepening institutional collaboration.
During his visit, Mẫn will co-chair the second session of the cooperation committee between Vietnam’s National Assembly and China’s National People’s Congress. This meeting, hosted at the invitation of Zhao Leji, the chairman of the Standing Committee of China’s National People’s Congress, aims to improve coordination between the two legislative bodies and further implement Vietnam’s foreign policy objectives.
