The Cong San (Communist) magazine of Vietnam and Qiushi journal of China should share their experiences to not only strengthen each party, but also to reach the common goals of both parties, said a senior Vietnamese official.

To Huy Rua, Politburo member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Head of its Commission on Propaganda and Education, made the remarks while receiving Zhang Xiaolin, Editor-in-Chief of the Quishi journal, in Hanoi on December 21.

According to Rua, ties between the organs of both parties should be more practical and effective.

Vietnam and China treasure their age old traditions and share the same goal of building up socialism under the leadership of the communist parties of both countries, said Rua.

Therefore, both journals need to take responsibility for contributing to the construction of socialism in each country, he added.

Zhang stressed that further co-operation between the two journals is needed, adding that Vietnam has a lot of experience in solving disputes, fighting corruption and promoting democracy at grass-roots level. (VNA)
