Hoc conveyed warm regards and best wishes from President of the VFF Central Committee Bui Thi Minh Hoai to Mejía and his entourage.

The official recalled his meeting with Mejia in Mexico in October 2023 and noted that he is especially moved that the MIU leader has visited the grave of CPV General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and inquired after the late leader's spouse, Ngo Thi Man, which is evidence of his lasting affection for the Vietnamese Party and people.

He said his committee’s core role is to rally the great national solidarity bloc, from workers, farmers, youth, to women and intellectuals, for national construction and defense. In such process, support from close friends like MIU and Mejia is invaluable encouragement.

The host welcomed Mejia’s 12th visit to Viet Nam, saying the MIU chief’s bridge role should help expand people-to-people exchanges and connect Dominican social organizations with Viet Nam for closer solidarity and mutual development.

Mejia, for his part, affirmed that MIU always stays ready to act as a bridge connecting Viet Nam with political parties, mass organizations and people across Central America, the Caribbean and Latin America.

He proposed steps to boost all-around cooperation, including preparing for a visit by a high-ranking Vietnamese National Assembly delegation to the Dominican Republic, helping re-establish the Dominican Republic–Viet Nam Parliamentary Friendship Group and pushing local twinning.

As political, trade and cultural cooperation potential remains ample, he said strong political will on both sides is the foundation to realize those goals.
