The two sides agreed to boost bilateral cooperation in national defense, security, external relations, and response to non-traditional security challenges while promoting economic and trade cooperation, ensuring smooth border trade, building the model of smart border gates, and enhancing the connection between the "Two Corridors, One Belt" framework and the “Belt and Road” Initiative, with priority given to boosting railway connectivity.

The top Vietnamese leader said Vietnam welcomes and is willing to offer favorable conditions for Chinese enterprises to invest in large-scale, advanced technology projects in Vietnam.

The Chinese Premier said China will further open its market to Vietnamese agricultural products and support the neighbouring country in setting up trade promotion offices in China.

The two sides also pledged to expand cooperation in science and technology, manufacturing supply chains, green development, and digital transformation.

Looking toward the 75th anniversary of their diplomatic relations next year, they agreed to jointly launch an array of activities during the "Year of Vietnam-China Humanistic Exchange" and strived to elevate the bilateral relations to a new stage of development, guided by the "six major goals”.

Concerning maritime issues, they agreed on the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the East Sea (or South China Sea). Lam proposed both sides strictly implement the high-level common perceptions, direct relevant authorities to actively seek effective methods and solutions to better control and resolve disagreements, and step up cooperation in line with the level of bilateral ties, based on international law, particularly the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
