Vietnamese PM Hosts Singaporean Counterpart in Hanoi to Strengthen Strategic Partnership
Hanoi, The Gulf Observer: Vietnamese Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính hosted an official welcome ceremony for visiting Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and his spouse at the Presidential Palace in Hanoi on Wednesday morning.
The visit, taking place on March 25-26, comes just over a week after Party General Secretary Tô Lâm’s trip to Singapore, during which the two nations elevated their ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Wong’s first official trip to Vietnam as prime minister aims to further implement the outcomes of Lâm’s visit and deepen bilateral cooperation under the newly established framework.
At the ceremony, Vietnamese students presented flowers to the Singaporean guests. The two prime ministers stood on the honour platform as the national anthems of both countries played, then reviewed the honour guard of the Vietnam People’s Army, observed a ceremonial parade, and introduced their respective high-level delegations.
Following the welcome ceremony, the leaders proceeded to official talks. Before their discussions, they visited a photo exhibition showcasing the landscapes, people, and strong diplomatic ties between Vietnam and Singapore, organised by the Government Office and Vietnam News Agency.
