During his three-day trip to Singapore, the top Vietnamese legislator had meetings with President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, and held talks with Speaker of the Singaporean Parliament Seah Kian Peng.

The two sides affirmed their commitments to intensifying information exchanges and experience sharing in addressing new issues in socio-economic development, boosting investment based on the strengths of each country to create breakthroughs in emerging areas such as green logistics, data centre building, semiconductor chip manufacturing, clean energy, carbon credits, food security, and green finance.

To promote substantive cooperation between the two legislatures, Man and Seah agreed on the need to effectively implement the cooperation agreement between the two legislative bodies, contributing to advancing the Vietnam-Singapore strategic partnership to new heights.

The two sides will increase information and experience exchanges in reforming institutions and legal systems, ensuring macroeconomic stability, expanding foreign relations, and enhancing international integration.

The leaders agreed to boost collaboration between parliamentary committees and agencies, as well as between lawmakers, including young and female legislators.
