To jointly create a firm foundation for upgrading the relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership at an appropriate time, Prime Minister Chinh proposed that the two sides maintain high-level exchanges and contacts across all channels.
Focus should also be placed on implementing the green-digital economy partnership, promoting cooperation in new growth areas such as digital transformation, clean energy, carbon credit trading, and especially cooperation in the application of electronic identification and building Vietnam’s National Data Center.
Minister Hean said that Singapore will continue to cooperate, support, and share its experiences with Vietnam in the areas the Prime Minister mentioned.
He noted that Singapore will soon sign an agreement with Vietnam on pilot implementation of several specific projects that fall under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement on carbon credits between the two countries.
