Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Hanoi, Vietnam, where he laid a wreath at the mausoleum of revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh. During the visit, Xi met with top Vietnamese leaders, including Communist Party General Secretary To Lam, President Luong Cuong, and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. The trip, part of a broader Southeast Asia tour that includes Malaysia, comes amid heightened U.S.-China trade tensions, giving the visit added strategic importance. Xi emphasized China and Vietnamβs shared commitment to peaceful development and regional stability. The two countries signed several cooperation agreements focused on areas like supply chains, environmental protection, and railroad development. A key highlight was the decision to fast-track an $8 billion railway project connecting the two nations. Vietnam, despite its ideological alignment with China, continues to carefully balance its relationships with both Beijing and Washington. Xiβs visit aims to strengthen bilateral ties and offer a counterweight to U.S. influence in the region. #xijinping #chinavietnam #hochiminh #southeastasiatour #uschinarelations #regionalstability #railwayproject #chineseleadership #moneycontrol Moneycontrol is Indiaβs leading financial portal, offering market news, expert analysis, and powerful tools.
