PM Chinh’s participation in the G20 Summit reflects Vietnam’s high regard for cooperation with G20 members and international partners. It also underscores the country’s growing role, stature and international standing, as well as its increasingly active and responsible contributions to multilateral conferences and forums. The trip also demonstrates Vietnam’s consistent policy of valuing its relations with Middle Eastern and African countries, including South Africa, Kuwait, and Algeria.

The trip aims to strengthen political trust, further deepen friendship, and promote multifaceted cooperation between Vietnam and South Africa, Kuwait, and Algeria in particular, and with countries in the Middle East and Africa in general.

Through this trip, Vietnam wishes to advance and create new momentum for its bilateral relations with the three countries, toward new heights. A key focus is to promote the signing of agreements that will create a legal framework for bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, and other areas of strength, while strengthening collaboration at international organizations and multilateral forums.
