Vietnamese PM starts China visit

Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung arrived in south China's Hainan Province on Monday, starting a six-day official visit to China.

Nguyen is in Haikou as a guest of Premier Wen Jiabao. This is also his first official China visit since assuming office in 2006.

In a tour of the island's special economic zone, Nguyen visited the Yangpu economic development zone and will attend an economic cooperation forum between Vietnam and China on Tuesday.

Vietnamese delegates said they wanted to learn from China's experience in developing special economic zones, and find opportunities for bilateral exchanges and cooperation. Nguyen's delegation includes more than 70 Vietnamese business people.

Also on Nguyen's agenda is the seventh summit of the Asia-Europe Meeting scheduled on Oct. 24 and 25 in Beijing.
