Deputy Foreign Minister Pham Thanh Binh said that the Vietnamese high-ranking delegation led by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended all official activities of the G20 Summit. The Prime Minister delivered two important speeches at the discussion sessions on “the fight against poverty” and “sustainable development and energy transition” and had 35 bilateral meetings with many leaders of countries and international organizations attending the conference.
The Prime Minister's intensive, active and effective activities have clearly portrayed the image of a dynamic and open Vietnam. Vietnam's participation and contribution at this Conference demonstrates three important messages. First, Vietnam is an autonomous, confident, self-reliant and self-reliant country. Second, Vietnam is a reliable multilateral partner. Third, Vietnam is a highly responsible member of the international community towards global common efforts.
Also on this occasion, the Prime Minister responded to the G20 members' Call for Action on Global Institutional Reform to build a fairer global institution, adapt more quickly to world fluctuations and enhance the representation of developing countries.
During his working visit to Brazil, the Prime Minister held talks with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and issued a Vietnam-Brazil Joint Statement on upgrading relations to a Strategic Partnership. The upgrading of relations is of great significance: Firstly, it affirms the high level of political trust between the two countries, demonstrating the determination of the two governments to open up a wider space for cooperation.
Second, the fact that Brazil is the first South American country with which Vietnam has established a strategic partnership also marks Vietnam's progress in expanding cooperation with Latin America, a market with great potential, especially in the context of Vietnam promoting the diversification of markets and supply sources.
Third, the new framework will be the foundation for the two sides to closely coordinate on international issues such as poverty reduction, sustainable development, climate change response and strengthening ASEAN-South America connectivity. This is also a strong demonstration of Vietnam’s commitment to deepening relations with partners around the world, while affirming Vietnam’s increasingly elevated position in the international community.
Meanwhile, the official visit to the Dominican Republic by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is the first visit by a senior Vietnamese leader in the history of relations between the two countries, demonstrating Vietnam's importance and desire to continue to consolidate and deepen the good solidarity, friendship and cooperation with the Dominican Republic, towards the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries (July 7, 2005 - July 7, 2025).
The results of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's visit will open a new phase in the relationship between the two countries, creating momentum to expand and deepen bilateral cooperation in many fields, effectively contributing to the development of each country, and benefiting peace, stability and cooperation in the two regions and the world.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s working trip to Brazil to attend the G20 Summit and pay an official visit to the Dominican Republic was a great success. The working trip once again demonstrated Vietnam’s role, prestige, and responsible contribution to global issues, while creating new momentum for further strengthening bilateral relations between Vietnam and Brazil and Vietnam and the Dominican Republic.
