习近平抵达河内对越南进行国事访问

当地时间12月12日中午，中共中央总书记、国家主席习近平乘专机抵达河内，应越南共产党中央委员会总书记阮富仲、越南社会主义共和国主席武文赏邀请，对越南进行国事访问。

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chinese president, said Tuesday that he expects to have an in-depth exchange of views with Vietnamese leaders on the overarching and strategic issues critical to the direction of the relations of the two Parties and two countries.

河内内排国际机场，400多名中越各界代表手持两党两国旗帜翘首以盼，“热烈欢迎习近平总书记、国家主席和夫人访问越南！”的红色横幅格外鲜艳夺目。

习近平乘坐专机抵达时，越南总理范明政，越共中央政治局委员、中央书记处书记、中央内政部部长潘庭濯，越共中央书记处书记、中央对外部部长黎怀忠等越南党政领导人和地方代表在舷梯旁热情迎接。越南青年向习近平和夫人彭丽媛献花。礼兵分列红地毯两侧。欢迎人群欢呼“欢迎习近平主席”，现场洋溢着热烈友好的气氛。

习近平发表书面讲话，代表中国共产党、中国政府、中国人民，向兄弟的越南共产党、越南政府、越南人民致以诚挚问候和良好祝愿。习近平指出，越南是亚洲重要国家和东盟重要成员国。近年来，在越南共产党领导下，越南人民积极探索符合本国国情的发展道路，全面推进革新事业，国际和地区影响力与日俱增。中越两国山水相连，传统友谊源远流长。两国老一辈领导人亲手缔造和培育的中越友谊是两国人民共同的宝贵财富。中方把对越关系放在周边外交的优先方向。我期待以这次访问为契机，同越南领导同志就中越两党两国关系全局性、战略性、方向性问题及共同关心的国际和地区问题深入交换意见，推动双边关系进入新阶段。

The leaders of the two sides will also discuss international and regional issues with common concerns, according to a written speech by Xi released upon his arrival for a two-day state visit to Vietnam.

He is scheduled to hold talks respectively with Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and President Vo Van Thuong, and meet with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Chairman of the National Assembly Vuong Dinh Hue.

Xi was warmly received at the airport by Pham Minh Chinh and other senior officials. More than 400 Vietnamese and Chinese people from all walks of life waved the flags of the two Parties and two countries to welcome the Chinese leader.

It is Xi's third visit to the Southeast Asian country since he became general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and Chinese president.

In the written speech, Xi said China takes its relations with Vietnam as a priority in its neighborhood diplomacy, adding that he looks forward to taking the visit as an opportunity to push bilateral relations to a new stage.

习近平主席夫人彭丽媛，中共中央政治局常委、中央办公厅主任蔡奇，中共中央政治局委员、外交部部长王毅，中共中央书记处书记、公安部部长王小洪等陪同人员同机抵达。

中国驻越南大使熊波也到机场迎接。

习近平乘车从机场赴下榻饭店途中，中越两党两国旗帜迎风飘扬，红色横幅上写着“中越友谊万古长青！”、“越中情谊深，同志加兄弟！”。许多人自发聚集在道路两旁，挥舞两国旗帜，热烈欢迎习近平到访。
