BEIJING — President of the National Assembly (NA) Trần Thanh Mẫn and a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation visited the Museum of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Monday morning as part of his official visit to China and co-chairing of the second meeting of the Cooperation Committee between the Vietnamese NA and the National People’s Congress of China (NPC).

The delegation was received by Bayanqolu, Chairman of the NPC’s Ethnic Affairs Committee and President of the China-Việt Nam Friendship Parliamentarians’ Group; Song Rui, Deputy Secretary-General of the NPC Standing Committee; and the museum’s leaders. 

After touring the museum and receiving briefings on its exhibition areas, NA President Mẫn said that Việt Nam also commenced construction of the Museum of the Communist Party of Việt Nam (CPV) in Hà Nội. The project is expected to be inaugurated in early 2030, marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPV (February 3, 1930–2030).

He expressed his hope that the Museum of the CPC will support Việt Nam and share experience in structural planning, architectural design and the display of artefacts.

Writing in the museum’s guestbook, the NA President expressed his pleasure at visiting the museum and wished that the traditional friendship, Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and the Việt Nam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance will remain evergreen and endure for generations to come.
