This is the fifth time Vietnam has been invited to attend a G20 Summit and the first time a key Vietnamese leader has visited the Dominican Republic.

The 19th G20 Summit, themed “Building a Fair World and a Sustainable Planet,” will prioritize discussions on poverty reduction, sustainable development, energy transition, and reform of global governance institutions. These are issues of common concern to all countries. In addition to the official G20 members, this year’s Summit will be attended by Heads of State and Government of 19 guest countries and leaders of 15 key international organizations. With the participation of the highest-ranking leaders of the world’s leading economies, this is the most important event, concluding Brazil’s very busy and productive year as G20 President with more than 100 meetings of 16 working groups and nearly 20 Ministerial Conferences.

Within the framework of the G20 Summit, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is expected to hold talks with President of the Federative Republic of Brazil Lula da Silva to review the implementation of high-level agreements reached during the Prime Minister's official visit in September 2023 and discuss major orientations and practical measures to promote bilateral relations to a new height. The Prime Minister will also attend a number of bilateral activities with Brazil on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, including the inauguration ceremony of a commemorative plaque dedicated to President Ho Chi Minh in Rio de Janeiro.

For the Dominican Republic, the official visit of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh demonstrates Vietnam's respect and desire to continue to consolidate and deepen the solidarity, friendship and good cooperation between Vietnam and the Dominican Republic, towards the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries (July 7, 2005 - July 7, 2025). In recent times, the relationship between Vietnam and the Dominican Republic has had many new positive developments. The two sides maintain regular delegation exchanges. Economic and trade relations have grown rapidly. The two countries still have much potential and room for cooperation in many fields.
