Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's official visit to Vietnam from March 25-26 is expected to further enhance the newly upgraded comprehensive strategic partnership (CSP) between the two nations, Singaporean Ambassador to Vietnam Jaya Ratnam told the press ahead of the trip.
According to the diplomat, this will be PM Wong’s first official visit to Vietnam since taking office, following Vietnamese Party General Secretary To Lam’s visit to Singapore less than two weeks ago. During the visit, the two countries issued a Joint Statement on upgrading relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, marking a historic milestone in Vietnam-Singapore relations, ushering in a new chapter with a long-term and comprehensive vision.
Ratnam informed the local press about the PM’s packed and intense programme in Vietnam, focussing on substantive talks with top Vietnamese leaders, including Party General Secretary Lam and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
