He attended the inauguration ceremony of a plaque commemorating President Ho Chi Minh in Rio de Janeiro city; attended the Vietnam Day Programme in Brazil; attended the Vietnam-Brazil Business Forum; worked with leading Brazilian businesses; and met with the Vietnamese community in Brazil.

In particular, PM Chinh made a historic visit to the Dominican Republic, becoming the first senior Vietnamese leader to visit this Caribbean country after nearly 20 years of establishing diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the Dominican Republic. The PM had talks and meetings with the President, President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Dominican Republic; received leaders of Dominican political parties; attended the inauguration ceremony of the upgraded Statue of President Ho Chi Minh in the capital of Santo Domingo; attended the Vietnam-Dominican Republic Business Forum; delivered a policy speech at the Institute of Higher Education in Diplomatic and Consular Training (INESDYC) of the Dominican Republic.

PM Chinh's working trip to Brazil, attendance at the G20 Summit and official visit to the Dominican Republic was a success, demonstrating Vietnam's role, prestige, and responsible contributions to global issues, and at the same time, creating new momentum for further strengthening the bilateral relations between Vietnam and Brazil and between Vietnam and the Dominican Republic./.
