Since 2017, Tran Phu ward has maintained effective friendship exchange activities with Dongxing town (China). On June 30, 2023, Tran Phu ward and Dongxing town officially signed an agreement to establish a ward-town friendship relationship along the international border.
On January 17, 2025, Hai Yen ward and Dongxing town also signed an agreement to establish a ward-town friendship relationship along the international border. Each year, these wards and towns deepen and expand their relationship through exchanges to share economic development and cultural, artistic, and sports experiences.
These efforts underscore the good and cooperative relationship guided by the 16 golden words: "friendly neighborliness, comprehensive cooperation, long-term stability, and future-oriented thinking" and the spirit of “four good”: "good neighbors, good friends, good comrades, good partners".
During the exchange, both sides reaffirmed their commitment to fostering cooperation between Tran Phu, Hai Yen wards (Vietnam) and Dongxing town (China) and to further enhancing the relationship between the two cities. They aim to develop the traditional friendship into a "model of friendship exchange" along the Vietnam-China border.
Through the exchange program between Tran Phu, Hai Yen wards (Mong Cai city, Vietnam) and Dongxing town (Dongxing city, China), the two sides aim to sustain the first ward-town twinning model between Vietnam and China, while promoting people-to-people diplomacy. These efforts contribute to strengthening solidarity and friendship among the people along the border, working together to build a peaceful, friendly, cooperative, and prosperous border region.
