BEIJING, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- China's top political advisor Wang Yang on Tuesday met with Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee.

Wang, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, noted that China received Trong's official visit to China right after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
