Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Hanoi on Monday to pay a state visit to Vietnam.

Vietnamese President Luong Cuong arrived at Noi Bai International Airport to greet General Secretary and President Xi Jinping, as well as a high-level Chinese delegation.

Two hundred members of the Drum Art Troupe welcomed the high-ranking Chinese delegation with special drum performances. There were also welcoming dances performed by 54 young women in traditional Vietnamese clothes, Xinhua reported.

This is Xi's fourth State visit to Vietnam as General Secretary and President of China; more importantly, it is the second visit by a Chinese leader to Vietnam in the same term.
The visit occurs in the backdrop of 2025 being a significant year, commemorating the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries (January 18, 1950 - January 18, 2025).

This visit contributes to strengthening and deepening the framework of the Vietnam-China Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership, while the Vietnam-China Community of Shared Future has strategic significance, elevating the two countries' relationship to new heights.
