35 Vietnamese businesses and more than 100 Singaporean partners joined a business forum when Chairwoman Ngan called for Singaporean investment in areas of Vietnamese needs and local potential. In Australia, Chairwoman Ngan met a dozen of Australian federal and state leaders. Vietnamese Ambassador Ngo Huong Nam underscored that the visit left impressive experience in bilateral ties.

“It’s interesting that the Speaker of Australian Upper House of the Parliament asked Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan to co-chair a 30-minute hearing. This symbolized Australian Parliament’s unprecedented respect to a foreign legislative leader.”, noted Nam.

The official visits have strengthened Vietnamese legislative cooperation with countries in the world.
