PM Phuc thanked China for their active co-operation and support for Vietnamese proposals and initiatives during the country’s Chairmanship of ASEAN in 2020.

Amid a range of fast and complex developments occurring in the global and regional situation, the Government leaders of both side held phone talks in the early stages of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in April, 2020.
