In statements to the press, the diplomat detailed that the party leader will make his trip from March 11 to 13, and emphasized that this is To Lam’s first visit to Singapore as general secretary of the VCP.

This event comes against the backdrop of rapid, profound and transformative changes in the world and the region.

Both Vietnam and Singapore are in an important stage of transition to new eras.

For the Indochinese nation, it is the period of ‘the era of the rise of the nation, Phuoc Anh noted.

In this context, the ambassador said, strengthening close and substantive cooperation between the two countries not only benefits mutual development, but also contributes to peace, stability and common development in the region.

He also stressed that this trip shows the importance Hanoi attaches to relations with Singapore and aspirations to raise them to new heights, in line with Vietnam’s foreign policy.

Both sides need to fully invest their resources, including time, human resources, finance and technology in key programs, such as offshore wind power projects between the Sembcorp Group’s project with PetroVietnam Technical Services Corporation.
