They stressed that the Taiwan issue is completely China's internal affairs. They strongly protested those countries which have established Governmental relations, in any form, or conducted any Governmental-level exchange, with Taiwan.

They held that peace, cooperation, development and social progress have become a global trend. The Governments and people of both Viet Nam and China earnestly aspire to a world of peace, long-lasting stability and a new world order of justice and equality, which will help all nations to develop together. The two sides strongly condemned hegemonism by political superpowers in international affairs as well as terrorism in any form. The two sides affirmed their policy of respecting cultural histories, social systems, and models of development in nations and civilisations the world over.
