Ties between China and Vietnam entered a new phase as Chinese President Xi Jinping wrapped up a two-day visit to the neighbouring country on Wednesday after striking a deal with Hanoi to step up cooperation and build a community with a “shared future”.

The pledge – a major diplomatic outreach by Beijing – will “open a new stage in the development of relations” between the two sides, Xi told Vietnamese President Vo Van Thuong during a meeting in Hanoi on Wednesday, according to South China Morning Post.

In their joint statement released on Wednesday, China and Vietnam agreed to raise ties to a new stage of “greater political mutual trust, more substantive security cooperation, deeper practical cooperation, firmer social foundation, closer multilateral coordination, and better management of differences”.

They also promised to boost security cooperation and intelligence sharing, with an eye on the risks of the so-called “colour revolution” posed by “hostile forces”. Regarding “maritime differences”, they said they would seek basic and long-term solutions acceptable to both sides.

During his two-day visit, Xi also met Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of the Vietnamese Communist Party, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Vuong Dinh Hue, chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam.

In his meeting with Chinh, Xi said that China and Vietnam should oppose any “attempt to mess up the Asia-Pacific” – a veiled reference to the US Indo-Pacific strategy.

The two sides signed , including pacts on digital economies and digital data, railway cooperation and road connectivity in border areas, as well as bilateral investment cooperation in green development, according to Vietnamese media.
