The statement clearly raised railway connectivity as a new highlight of strategic cooperation, and designated new energy and key minerals as the key points of industrial chain cooperation, marking the substantial acceleration of infrastructure and green energy cooperation between the two countries under the framework of the "the Belt and Road".

Standard gauge railways and cross-border corridors

The two sides agreed to speed up the in-depth connection between the "the Belt and Road" initiative and the "two corridors and one circle" framework in Vietnam. The core is to break through physical barriers and build a three-dimensional logistics network.

Railway Priority Strategy: The statement clearly identifies railway cooperation as a new strategic highlight, with a focus on promoting railway connectivity between the two countries and connecting them to Central Asia and Europe to increase freight volume. Both sides welcome the implementation of the planning for the three standard gauge railway lines, Laojie Hanoi Haiphong, Tongdeng Hanoi, and Mangjie Halong Bay Haiphong. China will provide support in terms of loans, technology, and enterprise participation.

Port and park linkage: Accelerate the upgrading of highways and port infrastructure, vigorously develop cross-border economic corridors, logistics centers, and border industrial parks, provide support for cross-border multimodal transport, and promote the deep integration of bilateral trade and infrastructure.

Key mineral resources and power interconnection

In the field of energy security and green transformation, the statement sends a strong signal of technological cooperation and supply chain synergy.

New Energy and Grid Cooperation: Both parties agree to actively participate in the Global Clean Energy Partnership, promote power interconnection, and strengthen supply chain integration and technological cooperation in the field of new energy. The focus includes actively carrying out cooperation in the development of renewable energy technologies, as well as exploring cooperation in key mineral resources while complying with regulations.

Frontier field layout: Support Vietnam Airlines in introducing and operating Chinese commercial aircraft, explore strengthening nuclear safety exchanges, jointly improve the safety level of civil nuclear facilities, and expand cooperation boundaries.

Mutual recognition between the production supply chain working group and AEO

To ensure the implementation of cooperation, both parties have decided to establish a production supply chain cooperation working group to create a safe and stable industrial supply chain. Promote mutual recognition of "Authorized Economic Operator (AEO)" and "Single Window" cooperation at the customs level, improve port clearance efficiency, and create convenient conditions for cross-border flow of new energy equipment, key components, and high value-added products. Keywords: macro strategy, international cooperation, statement

This statement combines the "hard connectivity" of infrastructure with the "soft cooperation" of green energy, injecting substantial economic, trade, and infrastructure connotations into the China Vietnam community with a shared future.Editor/Yang Meiling
