On the occasion of attending the G20 Summit in South Africa, on November 22 (local time), Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh met with Angolan President João Lourenço, Chair of the African Union (AU) 2025.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh respectfully conveyed the regards of General Secretary To Lam, President Luong Cuong and other Vietnamese leaders to President João Lourenço.
The Prime Minister affirmed that Vietnam always values traditional and friendly relations and wishes to strengthen cooperation with African countries, including Angola, especially in the fields of agriculture and trade, in which the two sides need to promote the export of key products to each other in the context of fierce trade competition today.
As an AU Observer (from December 2023), Vietnam is ready to continue to make more practical contributions to the African Union's Agenda 2063, and hopes that Angola will support the promotion of FTA negotiations between Vietnam and the African continental free trade area.
Regarding bilateral relations, the two leaders expressed their delight at the success of President Luong Cuong's recent visit to Angola in August 2025. The two countries have determined the orientation of building a "cooperative partnership for mutual development" between Vietnam and Angola to become a model for South-South cooperation.
Angolan President João Lourenço thanked the Vietnamese Government and people for their sincere sentiments, affirming his consistent support for Vietnam in strengthening relations with the AU and African countries, including Angola.
The Angolan President welcomed and pledged to facilitate Vietnamese businesses interested in investing in Angola, especially in the fields of agriculture, telecommunications, and energy. He hoped that Vietnam would soon send an inter-sectoral delegation and businesses to visit Angola to promote specific cooperation projects based on the orientations and commitments of the two countries' senior leaders.
On this occasion, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh conveyed the invitation of General Secretary To Lam and President Luong Cuong to the Angolan President to visit Vietnam soon. The Angolan President happily accepted the invitation.
