Vietnam wished to cooperate with China to build infrastructure and transport systems for future economic cooperation zones.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan expressed the aspiration at a reception in Hanoi Thursday for Governor of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Ma Biao, who is in Vietnam to attend the third conference of the joint working committee between Guangxi and Vietnam’s border provinces of Lang Son, Cao Bang, Ha Giang and Quang Ninh.

Deputy PM Nhan said Vietnam had plans to build the Dong Dang-Pingxiang and Mong Cai-Dongxing economic cooperation zones.

He expressed his joy as the Guangxi delegation to Vietnam included many Chinese businesses which plan to sign cooperation contracts with Vietnamese partners.

The Vietnamese official said that boosting cooperation between Vietnamese border provinces and Guangxi would actively contribute to increasing the traditional friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and China .

Ma agreed with Deputy PM Nhan’s plans on development of cooperation between Vietnamese border provinces and Guangxi, especially building border economic cooperation zones and a transport system to connect Guangxi with Vietnamese provinces, and expanding cooperation in tourism and education.
