The sides will also discuss international and regional issues of shared concern on this occasion.
Singapore remains a key partner of Vietnam in the region. Since the establishment of the diplomatic ties in 1973 and the strategic partnership in 2013, the bilateral relations have grown robustly across all channels - Party, government, parliament, and people-to-people exchange.
Japan is also Vietnam's top economic partner, largest provider of ODA, second largest partner in labour, the third biggest in investment, the third in tourism, and the fourth in trade. Bilateral relationship is at its most robust phase, marked by high political trust, frequent high-level exchanges, and deep economic collaboration.
