During talks in Singapore on Friday, the two leaders also agreed to advance cooperation in science and technology and welcomed the organization of the Vietnam-Singapore Tech Connect Forum. They endorsed a new initiative on Vietnam-Singapore technology connectivity aimed at building a strategic science and technology ecosystem between the two countries.
The two sides also agreed to further strengthen the Green Economy-Digital Economy Partnership, particularly in clean energy connectivity projects, carbon credit trading, the development of international financial centres, and next-generation Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Parks linked with high-tech transfer.
The leaders pledged to deepen cooperation in defense and security, including efforts to combat cybercrime and drug-related crime; expand collaboration in culture, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges; strengthen connectivity in aviation, logistics, and seaports; and continue supporting one another at multilateral mechanisms, especially ASEAN and the UN.
