On June 26, the Global Times commented on Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and the Prime Ministers of New Zealand, Barbados and Mongolia's official visit to China and attendance at the 14th Annual Pioneers Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Tianjin, China.

The article emphasized that China especially wants to use the visit to strengthen cooperative relations with its two neighboring countries, Vietnam and Mongolia.

The article quoted Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's speech before his visit to China on the importance of Vietnam-China relations, affirming that Vietnam always perseveres in developing friendly relations with countries, including China. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's speech clearly demonstrated Vietnam's independent and autonomous foreign policy.

Accordingly, the article assessed that Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's visit to China this time will promote regional economic integration, deepen and strengthen Vietnam-China relations.

In the context of the US-China relationship being full of tensions, the Vietnamese Prime Minister’s visit to China aims to find a balance. The article states that Vietnam is trying to find ways to protect its interests while simultaneously developing harmonious relations with China and the US. This is an important direction in Vietnam’s foreign policy.

In addition, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's visit to China not only demonstrates Vietnam's independent stance in US-China relations, but also demonstrates Vietnam's determination to play an active role in regional and international issues.

Several other websites continued to emphasize that, through the visit, Vietnam and China will discuss ways and steps to implement the common perception of the two countries' senior leaders, and at the same time exchange measures to deepen cooperation on the Belt and Road Initiative, enhance connectivity and stabilize the industrial supply chain.

On the same day, a number of articles in major Chinese newspapers such as CGTN, Global Times, and China Daily assessed Vietnam's purpose of attending the WEF Tianjin Conference.

Most of them said that through this trip, Vietnam demonstrated its active spirit of cooperation with international partners to solve global issues to maintain and promote regional and world economic growth; strengthen cooperation with international enterprises, especially Chinese enterprises, to continue creating a favorable international environment, attracting more foreign capital to invest in Vietnam.

According to the development goals set out at the 13th National Party Congress, Vietnam will continue to carry out reforms and open up deeply, making many efforts to promote new growth drivers such as digital transformation and green growth, in line with the spirit of the 2023 WEF Tianjin Conference.
