HANOI - Vietnam, China party chiefs' visits to each country are expected to bring about comprehensive and strategic orientations to bilateral relations, Vu Van Hien, deputy head of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee's Theory Council, has said.

Hien made the remarks in a recent interview with Xinhua and other Chinese media on the upcoming visit to Vietnam by General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Xi will pay a state visit to Vietnam from Nov. 5 to 6 at the invitation of the CPV General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang.

"Vietnam and China are countries with geographical proximity, sharing the common goal of building socialism. The two countries have many things in common such as their revolutionary careers being led by communist parties," Hien told Xinhua.

"As a result, official visits by the two parties' leaders, which are of great importance, are expected to bring about comprehensive and strategic orientations to the relations of the two parties and two countries," the official added.

Since 2003, following agreements reached between the CPV and CPC Politburos, workshops on theory have been held 11 times with various themes.

These topics include China's experience in reform and opening up, Vietnam's experience in renovation, enhancing governance capacity of the parties, experience in developing market economy in each country, response to the global financial and monetary crisis, dealing with Three Rural Issues, and building culture in each country, among others, said Hien.

The workshops are a flash point in the relations between the CPV and CPC, and are becoming an important forum for the two parties to exchange views, share experiences, learn from each other, and help speed up the building of socialism in each country. The discussions have also made positive contributions to strengthening and developing relations between the CPV and CPC, the official noted.

"Thanks to these workshops, further scientific arguments have been provided to affirm accuracy in the two parties' policies and pathways in concerned themes,"said Hien.

On the occasion of the upcoming visit to Vietnam by General Secretary of the Central Committee of CPC and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Hien hoped that theoretical exchanges between the CPV and CPC will continue to achieve important orientation, great attention and close direction by the two parties' leaders so that the theoretical cooperation mechanisms continue to be implemented, contributing to reinforcement and development of the two parties' ties in the coming time.

"I hope there will be new and diversified forms for theoretical exchanges between the CPV and CPC, such as exchanges between the two parties' research bodies, implementation of joint research, survey on theoretical and practical issues faced by the socio-economic development in Vietnam and China," Hien suggested.
