My warmest greetings to
all!
It is my great honour
to be appointed as the Ambassodor of Viet Nam to Singapore, a beautiful country.
Since 1973, when the two nations established diplomatic relations, substantial
progress in bilateral relations has been achieved. The Strategic Partnership
Agreement, signed in 2013 between Vietnam and Singapore, sets the platform for
the shift from a traditional relationship to one embracing all areas including
economic cooperation, capacity building, defence, security, culture, and
people-to-people links.
At the invitation of
His Excellency Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore,
His Excellency Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam made an official visit to Singapore in April 2018. The visit was a key
highlight of the celebrations for the 45th anniversary of the diplomatic
relations and the 5th anniversary of the Strategic Partnership.
Ranking the third
largest investor in Viet Nam, Singapore has invested in nearly 2000 projects
with value of 42 billion USD. The Viet Nam – Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP)
has become the symbol of the fruitful bilateral cooperation. Singapore is Viet
Nam’s top trading partner among ASEAN countries with total trade volume of 17
million S$.
The Viet Nam Embassy
will do its utmost to strengthen the partnership, contributing to peace,
stability and cooperation in the region as well as to a stronger ASEAN.
The Vietnamese
community in Singapore are hard-working, dedicated, and active people. The
Embassy strongly supports the Liaison Committee of the Vietnamese Community in
Singapore and protects the rights of the Vietnamese community, helping them to
contribute to national development and deepen relations between Vietnam and
Singapore.
I am delighted to work
towards exploring new opportunities of cooperation for the benefit of our
countries.
Thank you very much!

Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam
