Nguyen Phu Trong, Vietnam's Communist Party chief, paid an official visit to China, the first by the Party's top leader since the Communist Party of China's leadership transition at the 18th CPC National Congress.

Xi and Trong agreed to work together to manage and control maritime frictions to safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea. China and Vietnam showed their determination to strengthen ties by sealing a host of agreements and pledging to tackle such friction properly.
