The firms’ achievements have helped consolidate the Vietnam-Singapore strategic partnership, particularly in economics and trade, he added.
The Government continually strives to offer incentives for Vietnamese firms operating at home and abroad, he affirmed, hoping that domestic investment will expand in overseas markets in the future.
Representatives from Vietnamese firms in Singapore pledged utmost efforts towards reaping greater successes.
