Assessing that trade growth between the two countries is very positive, with more Singaporean projects investing in Việt Nam, the President said that the Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park is considered a symbol of economic cooperation between the two countries.

The President said he wishes to have more Singaporean cooperation projects in Việt Nam and the two sides to strengthen cooperation in the field of human resource training because this is the most solid foundation in the country's socio-economic development.

Singapore's NA Speaker Tan thanked President Phúc for taking the time to receive him and reiterated his good impression of the Vietnamese leader’s recent visit to Singapore in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leaders of the two countries agreed on many important solutions to promote bilateral relations.
