STORYLINE:
Chinese President Xi Jinping met with his Vietnamese counterpart To Lam in Beijing on Monday.
The meeting was part of the first overseas trip by Vietnam’s new leader, signalling the continuing importance the Southeast Asian country places on its giant neighbor even as it strengthens ties with the United States and others.
His three-day visit comes about two weeks after Lam was confirmed as general secretary of Vietnam’s Communist Party, the country’s top political position.
He succeeded Nguyen Phu Trong, who died last month after 13 years as leader.
They leaders met outside Beijing’s Great Hall of the People, before holding bilateral talks on continuing traditional friendship and furthering cooperation.
During the meeting President Xi said China "has always regarded Vietnam as a priority of its neighboring diplomacy".
