This is the fourth time Mr. Lee Hsien Loong has officially visited Vietnam as Prime Minister of Singapore since 2004. The most recent time Mr. Lee Hsien Loong visited Vietnam was in March 2017.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's official visit to Vietnam takes place in the year commemorating the 50th anniversary of Vietnam - Singapore diplomatic relations (1973 - 2023) and the 10th anniversary of the strategic partnership between the two countries (2013 - 2023).

Last February, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his wife also paid an official visit to Singapore, opening the year of celebrating the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of the strategic partnership between Vietnam and Singapore.

The Vietnam - Singapore Strategic Partnership has been developing dynamically and strongly in all fields in recent years.

Singapore maintains its leading position in ASEAN and ranks 2nd out of 141 countries and territories investing in Vietnam with 3,032 valid projects with a total registered capital of 70.39 billion USD.

Vietnam - Singapore Industrial Parks (VSIP) are a symbol of economic cooperation between the two countries with 12 VSIPs in 9 provinces and cities in Vietnam with a high occupancy rate (about 83.2%), attracting 17.6 billion USD in total investment capital for about 900 projects, creating nearly 300,000 jobs.

During recent high-level visits, leaders of the two sides agreed on a number of major cooperation directions, suitable for the era of Industry 4.0, especially in new areas such as digital economy, digital transformation, connecting regional and global supply chains, building a green economy, sustainable development, and chain cooperation in production, etc.
