Viet Nam – Singapore established diplomatic ties in 1973, upgraded to a Strategic Partnership in 2013, and further elevated relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in March 2025. This new framework strengthens political trust, expands cooperation, and sets a model for international partnerships based on mutual respect, sovereignty, and international law.
In ASEAN, Indonesia is Viet Nam's third-largest trading partner, while Viet Nam is Indonesia's fourth-largest trading partner. Bilateral trade exceeded 16 billion USD last year, with Viet Nam's exports estimated at over 6 billion USD, the highest ever recorded.
Hosting the Singaporean Prime Minister, the Vietnamese leaders emphasised the significance of Wong’s official visit, describing it as a key milestone - the first high-level exchange following the establishment of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership during Party General Secretary To Lam’s official visit to Singapore.
