Prime Minister of Singapore Lawrence Wong and his spouse are going to pay an official visit to Vietnam from March 25 to 26, the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced.
The trip will be made at the invitation of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his spouse.
Vietnam and Singapore on March 12 issued a joint statement on the establishment of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
Singapore is currently Vietnam's largest investor in ASEAN and the second-largest in the world. One of the success symbols is the Vietnam- Singapore Industrial Parks (VSIP). To date, there are 18 VSIPs in 13 provinces and cities, attracting over 18.7 billion USD in investment and creating jobs for more than 300,000 workers.
Vietnam has 153 investment projects in Singapore, with a total registered capital of over 690 million USD. Bilateral trade in 2024 was estimated at 10.3 billion USD. Notably, the Green Economy – Digital Economy Partnership between the two countries is opening up many new prospects for bilateral cooperation in key sectors with significant future potential.
In terms of security and defence, the deputy minister said that the two countries have signed a bilateral defence cooperation agreement and are implementing effective cooperation in new security areas such as cyber security and transnational crime prevention. Both countries essentially share common stances on regional and international issues, aiming to build an international order based on international law and global standards. At the same time, Vietnam and Singapore maintain close people-to-people exchanges. Currently, there are about 20,000 Vietnamese people studying, working, and living in Singapore.
