The Singaporean minister said he is impressed by Vietnam’s economic growth and lauded the two countries’ collaboration in trade, investment, security-defence, digital and green economy, and digital government. Room for such engagements remains huge, he said.

The two sides agreed that given the current complicated context, the two countries need to work together to maintain peace, stability and cooperation in the region, and settle disputes by peaceful means and on the basis of international law.

It is necessary to strengthen solidarity in contribution to building a self-resilient and prosperous ASEAN and promoting the bloc’s centrality, they said.
