He said the top leaders of the two parties and countries should exchange views on bilateral relations and major issues of common concern in a timely manner, and continue to build consensus. It is necessary to maintain exchanges and cooperation between the two parties, legislative bodies and political consultative organizations, and to keep sharing governance experiences, he added.

Recognizing the frequent exchanges and fruitful cooperation between China's National People's Congress and Vietnam's National Assembly, Xi said the two countries' legislatures should do more to strengthen the traditional friendship, ensure practical cooperation, strengthen multilateral coordination, and carry out exchanges on the development of socialist democracy and rule of law.

Tran Thanh Man said that Vietnam's National Assembly looks forward to conducting close communication and cooperation with China's NPC, and contributing to the common prosperity and development of the two countries and the friendship between the two peoples.
