The event is part of activities to mark the 50th anniversary of bilateral relationship and 10th anniversary of the Strategic Partnership between both sides. Under the theme of “Strengthening Regional Collaboration for Sustainable Growth”, the forum aims to expand economic relations and foster close ties between the two countries.

A number of discussions will therefore be held during the course of the event, with a specific focus on sustainable development, technological innovation in ASEAN's digitalization, and the future of human resources.

Furthermore, a variety of sideline activities will be held at the forum, including the signing of memorandum of understanding (MOU), a business matching event, and exhibitions to help firms explore investment opportunities in the region.

Most notably, the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) will lead a delegation of 25 Singapore businesses operating in the fields of business services, manufacturing, and consumer goods to the Vietnamese market in order to get greater insights into business climate and promote bilateral ties.
