China and Vietnam released a joint statement on further strengthening and deepening the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries on Tuesday, the third day of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong's visit to China. 

The joint statement underscored the two countries' commitment to developing healthy and stable bilateral relations from a strategic and long-term perspective during a period of great changes in the world, and their joint unwavering adherence to the leadership of the communist party, Chinese analysts said.

The document sets the key tone for China-Vietnam relationships amid a complex global situation and historic changes unseen in a century. The two sides frankly explored areas of disagreement and agreed to properly address them, such as maritime issues.
