Singapore is the first country with which Vietnam has established a Green Economy - Digital Economy Partnership (February 2023) and the two countries agreed to take the relationship to a new level in the coming time. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh affirmed that for Vietnam, Singapore is always an important partner in the region as well as in the world. The Vietnamese Government will continue to closely coordinate with the Singaporean Government to develop the Strategic Partnership between the two countries increasingly strongly, in depth, substantially and effectively, worthy of being a typical dynamic relationship in ASEAN and a model for promoting other intra-bloc cooperation mechanisms. Vietnam is very interested in replicating the VSIP model and will create favorable conditions for more new generation VSIPs to operate effectively in Vietnam. The Prime Minister thanked the Singaporean Government for always paying attention to training officials at all levels for Vietnam and suggested that the two sides strengthen defense and security cooperation, including the construction of a National Data Center; promote financial cooperation, education - training, tourism, and people-to-people exchange to enhance common understanding between the people of the two countries.
