Xi Jinping says China will build stable supply chain with ‘comrade’ Vietnam

China will build a stable supply chain with its “comrade and brother” Vietnam, President Xi Jinping told visiting Vietnamese Communist Party chief Nguyen Phu Trong on Monday.

Trong – the first foreign leader to visit China since Xi secured a third term – said Vietnam would not allow any overseas military base to be established in the country, nor would it join forces with any country against another.
