Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Hang said that the Prime Minister's working trip has extremely important significance at both bilateral and multilateral levels, thereby continuing to effectively, synchronously and consistently implement the foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralization and diversification of Vietnam's foreign relations.
South Africa is the largest economy in Africa, currently holding the G20 Chair in 2025 and is a key member of the BRICS group. Algeria is one of the countries with the most deepest relations with Vietnam in the region, and is a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the 2024-2025 term. Kuwait assumes the role of Chairman of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in 2025.
On bilateral terms, Vietnam has a good friendly and cooperative relationship with Kuwait, Algeria and South Africa. At present, the relationship between Vietnam and the three countries is on the path of increasingly effective and substantial development; Vietnam and all three countries are in a new "mental" on their development path. Middle Eastern and African countries consider Vietnam a model of success in innovation and development, a model of increasingly active and responsible contributions to the international community. This is an important foundation for increasing political trust and sharing common values between us and countries in the Middle East - Africa region.
According to Deputy Minister Nguyen Minh Hang, the Prime Minister's working trip carries an important message about Vietnam's great importance in developing relations with partners as well as with the region, promising to open a new, strategic, deeper and more substantial phase of cooperation. The working trip is also an opportunity for Vietnam to promote connections with the three strategic destinations of the region, thereby not only raising the level and deepening the relationship between Vietnam and the three countries but also contributing to shaping the future and new vision between Vietnam and the Middle East - Africa region in the spirit of trust, sustainability, towards a common prosperous future.
On the multilateral level, this is the second consecutive year that Vietnam has been invited to attend the Summit of the Group of 20 leading economies in the world. This is a strong affirmation of Vietnam's increasingly high prestige, position and role, the recognition and appreciation of partners, especially the G20, for Vietnam's development achievements and substantial contributions and responsibility in common world issues.
Attending this Conference is an opportunity for Vietnam to continue to affirm its consistent foreign policy as a trusted partner of the international community, ready to join hands to solve global issues in the spirit of mutual respect and understanding, contributing to the common development of humanity.
From the practical needs and experiences of a developing, transforming, high-growth, independent, autonomous and deeply integrated economy, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will have important shares, assessments and proposals to contribute to countries in building an international economic order and a fair, inclusive and sustainable global economic governance system.
Within the framework of the Conference, the Prime Minister will have many bilateral contacts with leaders of countries and international organizations to promote cooperation in strategic areas for Vietnam such as green transformation, digital transformation, innovation, strategic infrastructure development, high-quality human resource development... thereby maximizing international resources to serve the country's development goals.
