China's whole-process people's democracy is a new form of political civilization created by the people under the leadership of the CPC, Zhao said, adding that China is willing to work with Vietnam to uphold and develop socialist democracy, and to showcase the advantages and bright prospects of the socialist system.

He called on China's NPC and Vietnam's National Assembly to strengthen exchanges and cooperation among special committees, friendship groups, deputies and local legislative bodies, and to learn from each other's experience in governing the country. He also called on the two bodies to provide legal and policy support for pragmatic cooperation between the two countries in various fields.

Hue, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee, said that Vietnam regards developing relations with China as a strategic choice and the top priority of its foreign policy and firmly adheres to the one-China policy.

Vietnam's National Assembly is willing to strengthen friendly exchanges with China's NPC and make positive contributions to promoting bilateral pragmatic cooperation, enhancing the friendship between the two peoples, and deepening the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, Hue said.
