Since the pandemic broke out, MOFCOM has been firmly committed to international cooperation against Covid-19.

Vice Minister Qian Keming said that China and Vietnam are good neighbors, friends, comrades and partners that share deep bonds of friendship. In response to the profound changes unseen in a century and the raging Covid-19 pandemic, the two countries have tided over difficulties and supported each other, which amply demonstrates the strategic significance of the spirit of a community with a shared future. China and Vietnam have forged great synergy on trade and economic fronts to fight the virus and advance economic cooperation. Bilateral trade has grown against the headwinds and major progress has been made in various domains of cooperation.

Vice Minister Tran Van Thuan said that as friendly socialist neighbors, Vietnam and China have assisted each other in the Covid response. The vaccines provided by China have played a pivotal role in Vietnam’s fight against the pandemic. It is hoped that with the support and assistance of China, Vietnam can overcome the challenges brought by the pandemic and resume normal production and life.
