Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his wife will lead a high-level Vietnamese delegation to attend the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from November 16-19, 2024, at the invitation of the President of the Federative Republic of Brazil, G20 Chair 2024 Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his wife; followed by an official visit to the Dominican Republic from November 19-21, at the invitation of the President of the Dominican Republic Luis Abinader and his wife.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
The 19th G20 Summit, themed “Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet,” will prioritize discussions on combating poverty, sustainable development – energy transition, and reforming global governance institutions. These are all issues of common concern to all countries.
In addition to the official G20 members, this year's summit was attended by heads of state and government from 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 was the most important event, concluding Brazil's very busy and productive G20 presidency year, which included over 100 meetings of 16 working groups and nearly 20 ministerial conferences.
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.
Within the framework of this Conference, 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 to exchange views on major directions and substantive measures to promote bilateral relations to a new level.
The Prime Minister will also attend several bilateral events with Brazil to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, including the unveiling of a commemorative plaque dedicated to President Ho Chi Minh in Rio de Janeiro.
With regard to the Dominican Republic, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's official visit demonstrates Vietnam's appreciation and desire to further strengthen and deepen the good relationship of solidarity, friendship, and cooperation between Vietnam and the Dominican Republic, leading up to the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries (July 7, 2005 - July 7, 2025).
In recent times, relations between Vietnam and the Dominican Republic have seen many positive developments. Both sides maintain regular exchanges of delegations. Economic and trade relations have experienced rapid growth. The two countries still have significant potential and room for cooperation in various fields.
This is the first time Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has attended the G20 Summit, even though Vietnam does not currently hold the rotating chairmanship of any multilateral forum. This demonstrates that the international community, including host country Brazil, increasingly values the role of the Vietnamese economy in the global economy, as well as Vietnam's influence and contributions to global multilateral mechanisms.
For many years, the G20 has been one of the most important mechanisms for global governance, playing a significant role in guiding and shaping international efforts to address global challenges. This is an opportunity for us to make proactive, positive, and responsible contributions to key and urgent global issues, commensurate with Vietnam's strength and position as it enters a new era of national development.
The Prime Minister's attendance and speech will convey a strong message about a dynamic, innovative Vietnam, ready to shoulder global responsibilities.
Strengthening and promoting cooperation
For Brazil, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's visit will contribute to elevating Vietnam-Brazil bilateral relations to a new level, strengthening political commitment and trust, opening up broader areas for cooperation, and developing the relationship comprehensively, in depth, stably, and sustainably, bringing practical benefits to the people of both countries.
For the Dominican Republic, the visit will create momentum to promote the expansion of economic, trade, and investment relations between Vietnam and the Dominican Republic, especially in promising areas such as agriculture, industry, building materials production, export processing zone business, energy - oil and gas, telecommunications, and tourism.
Meetings with leaders of countries and international organizations within the framework of the conference will be an opportunity to further deepen relations in many fields, especially trade, investment, and development cooperation, and to continue effectively implementing Vietnam's independent, self-reliant, multilateral, and diversified foreign policy.
As a guest at the G20 Summit, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will share his views on global issues and is expected to speak at two sessions on November 18 and 19 on two important topics: "The fight against poverty" and "Sustainable development and energy transition".
Accordingly, the Prime Minister will share valuable lessons on poverty reduction, an area in which Vietnam has extensive experience and achieved great success, recognized and highly appreciated by the whole world. At the same time, the Prime Minister will also exchange views, approaches, and implementation strategies for Vietnam's sustainable development and energy transition in the coming period, and introduce to the Conference Vietnam's hosting of the fourth Partnership for Green Growth and Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Summit in 2025.
At the conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will endorse the Call to Action on Global Governance Reform. This is an important G20 document reflecting the G20's determination to reform and modernize key international institutions such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, and the International Monetary Fund, affirming the G20's leading role in promoting sustainable development goals.
In addition, the Prime Minister will attend the launch ceremony of the "Global Alliance Against Poverty" initiative as a founding member. Against the backdrop of slowing global efforts to eradicate poverty and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the establishment of the Alliance will contribute to creating new political momentum and effectively coordinating with existing efforts to combat poverty. This spirit is entirely consistent with Vietnam's global, people-to-people, and inclusive approach and with the policy of strengthening the voice of developing countries in the fight against poverty.
We believe that the results of this trip will once again affirm Vietnam's position, prestige, responsibility, and contributions in important international forums, further strengthen and open a new phase in relations between Vietnam and Brazil and the Dominican Republic, create momentum for expanding and deepening bilateral cooperation in many fields, effectively contribute to the development of each country, and contribute to peace, stability, cooperation, and development in both regions and the world.
