• The Chinese people will unswervingly side with the fraternal Vietnamese people and contribute all their efforts to the defeat of U.S. imperialism until final victory.

• The Vietnamese people's sacred cause for. liberating the south, defending the north and reunifying their fatherland is bound to triumph.
