Chan warmly welcomed Tu and members of the Vietnamese delegation. The two leaders exchanged introduced officials from the two countries attending the welcome ceremony.

Over more than five decades, Vietnam-Singapore relations have remained a bright spot and become a model of successful cooperation within ASEAN. Built on political trust, shared strategic vision and common interests, bilateral ties have continued to develop strongly, from the establishment of a Strategic Partnership in 2013 to the upgrading of relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2025.

Cooperation between the two countries has expanded in both scope and depth. In addition to traditional areas of cooperation, Vietnam and Singapore have emerged as pioneering partners in new fields such as clean energy connectivity, digital transformation, innovation, high technology and green finance.
