Regarding Vietnam-Brazil relations in 2024, Ambassador Bui Van Nghi shared that, in addition to the Prime Minister's working trip to the G20 Summit, the visit by Party Central Committee Secretary, Politburo member, and Head of the Central Propaganda Department Nguyen Trong Nghia in August further affirmed the close relationship between the two countries.

Bilateral trade relations continue to shine as a key area of cooperation. Brazil is currently Vietnam's largest trading partner in Latin America and second in the Americas. Conversely, Vietnam serves as Brazil's leading partner in ASEAN.

Beyond economic ties, cooperation in education, culture, science and technology, and tourism has also seen significant progress. Events such as Vietnam Day in Brazil 2024 and the inauguration of the Ho Chi Minh Memorial during the Prime Minister's visit to Brazil have not only promoted Vietnam's image but also contributed to deepening the friendship between the two countries.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese overseas community continues to grow, expanding in both numbers and diversity. With 6 million Vietnamese people living abroad and remittances reaching around 16 billion USD in 2024, these resources play a crucial role in the country's development.
