Following the ceremony, the Vietnamese leader and his host had a retreat before leading their respective delegations to official talks.

Lam and Wong are scheduled to witness the exchange of cooperation agreements between the two countries and meet the media following their talks. An official banquet will also be organised for the Vietnamese Party chief.

This is the first visit to Singapore by Lam in his position as the CPV General Secretary, marking a new milestone in the bilateral relations, and demonstrating Vietnam’s special attention to elevating relations with Singapore to new heights, in line with Vietnam’s foreign policy.

The visit is also expected to deepen the ties between the CPV and the PAP, laying a solid political foundation for the bilateral relationship. It will also contribute to further promoting cooperation between the two countries in such areas as green economy, digital economy, science-technology and innovation, clean energy, and financial centre development.
