In an interview granted to the Vietnam News Agency on the threshold of the Vietnamese top legislator’s trip, Seah affirmed that Singapore and Vietnam enjoy excellent bilateral relations underpinned by political trust, strong trade and investment links, and close people-to-people ties.
Both countries share a similar strategic outlook and enjoy sustained high-level engagement between leaders. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations last year, Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh visited Singapore in and then Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong visited Vietnam in August, he said.
To build on the momentum of high-level exchanges, Seah said he is delighted to welcome NA Chairman on an official visit to Singapore from December 1 to 3, noting that this visit follows his meeting with Man on the sidelines of the 45th General Assembly of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA-45) held in Laos earlier this year.
