Visits show China is reliable partner

Xi's three-nation tour hailed for its fruitful results

President Xi Jinping arrived in Beijing on Friday afternoon as he wrapped up his first overseas trip of this year in which he made state visits to Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia.

During the visits, China and the three neighboring countries reached consensuses in a wide range of areas including politics and economic cooperation, as evidenced by the signing of a total of more than 100 cooperation documents.

As the global landscape enters a critical period, the trip by the Chinese head of state has sent a clear message of regional countries' commitment to building their common home through all-around cooperation, upholding free trade and defending the rules-based international order, officials and experts said.
