SG, Vietnam boost cooperation in new and emerging sectors

Amongst sectors where the two countries will collaborate include energy connectivity.

Singapore and Vietnam have expressed plans to collaborate on new and emerging areas such as energy connectivity, sustainability and digital innovation.

Apart from these areas, the two countries have also made progress in education, finance, information technology and telecommunications, infrastructure, investment, tourism, trade and services, and transport.

“Singapore and Vietnam share strong and substantive trade and investment ties. With Vietnam’s transition to a green and digital economy, Singapore can be a partner to Vietnam in its next bound of growth. Singapore companies can build on the strong foundation and partnerships with Vietnam to capture opportunities in these new areas,” Second Minister for Trade and Industry, Tan See Leng, said in the 17th Singapore-Vietnam Connectivity Ministerial Meeting (CMM) held in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Tan co-chaired this year’s CMM and led discussions about further collaboration with Vietnam, together with his counterpart, Vietnam Minister of Planning and Investment H.E. Nguyen Chi Dzung.

Meanwhile, the ministers also witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and Vietnam’s National Innovation Center (NIC) on the sidelines of the CMM.

Ministry of Trade and Industry

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
