Mr Nhan welcomed the Singaporean Deputy PM’s visit, adding that it will help bolster the strategic partnership between the two countries in the future, benefiting both sides.

He said that Vietnam pays great attention to developing ties with Singapore in all fields and all channels, expressing his delight at the strong growth in bilateral partnership over the years, which has been reflected in high political trust; close friendship; and all-round cooperation, especially in economy, education, and regional security cooperation.
