The visits also took place at a time when the Philippines is serving as ASEAN Chair in 2026, Singapore is preparing to assume the ASEAN Chairmanship in 2027, and Vietnam is set to host the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in 2027.
The leaders highly valued the trust, sincerity and mutual support that the two countries have cultivated in recent years, agreeing to continue close coordination to advance Vietnam–Timor-Leste relations in a more substantive and effective manner, thereby contributing positively to peace, stability, cooperation and sustainable development in the region.
The signed documents include an MoU on cooperation between Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Singapore’s Public Service Division, and a joint statement between Vietnam's Minister of Industry and Trade and Singapore's Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science & Technology on strengthening supply chain resilience.
The state visit to Singapore by Party General Secretary and State President To Lam is of particular importance to the continued implementation of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries.
