Tôi tin tưởng rằng, mỗi bạn thanh niên ở đây đều rất tự hào và trân trọng mối quan hệ "vừa là đồng chí, vừa là anh em" giữa hai Đảng và Nhân dân hai nước do Chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh và Chủ tịch Mao Trạch Đông cùng các thế hệ cách mạng tiền bối hai nước đã dày công vun đắp.

He recalled the historical significance of Chinese support for the Vietnamese revolutionary movement in its early stages and stressed that today's youth are the crucial force in national development and the vital bridge for future cooperation. This focus on intergenerational continuity and the cultivation of strong bilateral relations through youth engagement is a cornerstone of Vietnam's foreign policy, particularly in its relationship with its powerful neighbor.

Ngày nay, thanh niên hai nước tiếp tục là lực lượng nòng cốt trong công cuộc xây dựng đất nước, là cầu nối quan trọng vun đắp tình hữu nghị, hợp tác giữa hai Đảng, hai nước Việt - Trung.
