Vietnamese Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyễn Hồng Diên and Singaporean Minister-in-Charge of Energy, and Science and Technology in the Ministry of Trade and Industry Tan See Leng have agreed to continue close coordination in implementing key areas of cooperation, particularly in energy, industry, trade, and science and technology.
The two ministers held talks in Hà Nội on October 10 as part of Tan’s trip to attend the 19th Việt Nam–Singapore Connectivity Ministerial Meeting.
They noted that bilateral economic and trade relations have continued to develop substantively and comprehensively, forming a key pillar of the Việt Nam–Singapore bilateral relationship.
A major focus of the meeting was the proposed renewable energy export project from Vietnam to Singapore.
Both sides discussed options for direct transmission between the two countries as well as indirect connections through a third country. Diên underlined the project’s strategic significance, not only for the bilateral ties but also for the formation of an integrated ASEAN power grid.
