During his six-year term, he helped bolster exchanges between delegations at all levels, including visits by Mozambican Prime Minister Carlos Agostinho do Rosario to Vietnam in 2017 and President Truong Tan Sang to the African country a year earlier.

He also, at the time, called on Mozambique to support Vietnam in the election to become a non-permanent member of the U.N. Security Council (UNSC), member of the U.N. Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the U.N. Human Rights Council, and the Executive Board of UNESCO.

The diplomat also contributed to the organization of joint committees’ meetings and political consultations, and the signing of various bilateral agreements, among others.

Hoa voiced her belief that Gamiliel Sepulveda Joao Munguambe will further work to strengthen the Vietnam-Mozambique friendship.
