This statement was made by Chinese Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Ma Zhaoxu at a
press briefing in Beijing on Thursday.
State Councillor Dai Bingguo will visit Vietnam from September 5 to 9 as the
guest of Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan, he said, adding that Dai and
Nhan will co-chair the fifth meeting of the China-Vietnam cooperation steering
committee.
According to the spokesman, the meeting will review progress in Vietnam-China
relations since the previous meeting, discuss the countries’ shared vision and
specific measures for cooperation in various fields.
He said Dai’s visit was expected to play a positive role in boosting
China-Vietnam all-round strategic cooperative partnership.
China-Vietnam ties have seen strong development, with close exchanges at all
levels and fruitful achievements in cooperation in economic trade and military
affairs, law enforcement, security, education, science and technology, culture
and health, according to the diplomat.
A healthy and stable China-Vietnam relationship served the fundamental interests
of both countries and their peoples and provided regional stability and
prosperity, the spokesman reaffirmed.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
